This Rope's Getting Tighter Songtext
von Emma Pollock

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, I need something that I know now
Oh, I'm just too far away from home now
Oh, just a sight or sound to trust now
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
I′m eating from the inside out
This gut rot I could do without
So sinister a pastime
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 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, I need something that I know now
Oh, I′m just too far away from home now
Oh, just a sight or sound to trust now
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
I′m eating from the inside out
This gut rot I could do without
So sinister a pastime

I have to know, I have to go
