This Rope's Getting Tighter |
I drive through streets I could walk for weeks |
Full of life or full of loneliness |
Whose eyes will I watch from today? |
The day I signed my heart resigned |
My glass was overflowing, celebrate |
This rope’s getting tighter |
And someone is pulling me back to the start |
Oh, oh, oh |
I need something that I know now |
Oh, oh, oh |
Just too far away from home now |
Oh, oh, oh |
Just a sight or sound to trust now |
Oh, oh, oh |
Keep it simple |
Keep me static |
Just enough to lose the panic |
Let me see the light again |
I have to know where it goes |
Needing from the inside out |
This gut rot I could do without |
So sinister a pasttime |
I have to know, I have to go |
So cut the cord, throw overboard |
This history that claims of me |
My present and my future |
Both clear to see, both bound to be |
A replica of this life so far |
I think it’s time I raised the bar |
But this rope’s getting tighter |
And someone is pulling me back to the start |
Oh, oh, oh |
I need something that I know now |
Oh, oh, oh |
Just too far away from home now |
Oh, oh, oh |
Just a sight or sound to trust now |
Oh, oh, oh |
Keep it simple |
Keep me static |
Just enough to lose the panic |
Let me see the light again |
I have to know, I have to go |
Needing from the inside out |
This gut rot I could do without |
So sinister a pasttime |
I have to know, I have to go |
