The Rope Songtext

von Martin and James

Here she comes like a ribbon 'round my neck
She's the living, she's the dead
She's a vision in my head
All made up, like a dream inside a dream
Everything, no in between
The direction that I lean
They say love is the rope that lets you go
It's everything you never know
It cuts your branches and you grow
Oooh
Here she comes with the weight of words she says
Heavier than lead
She's a bullet in my head
In the dead of night she's awake and she's asleep
Another promise I can't keep
She's a river and I'm in too deep
They say love is the shot that kills you cold
It's everything you're never told
It tries to break you til you fold
It's the rope that lets you go
It's everything you never know
It cuts your branches and you grow
Oooh
