This Rope is Long Lyrics

This rope is long
This rope is long
It takes me awhile
To bring me back
This rope is long
This rope is long
Sometimes I can’t tell
It’s what brought me back
This rope is long
Promises harmony
So I don’t mind
When it wraps itself
Around me.
And I’m already there.
I’m already there.
I can hear it’s heart
I’m already there
Though there is some slack
I’m already there.
I can hear it’s heart.
I’m already back
In it’s arms.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this person is falling, and the only thing keeping her from falling to her death is a rope, or a person, or love. Like bungee jumping almost. Beautiful voice, equally beautiful song.
