This indecision got me climbing up the wall
Been cheating gravity and waiting on the fall
How did this come over me? I thought I was above it all
Our hopes gone up in smoke, swallow your crown

Choke, on a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you
Choke, on a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you

Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm hanging on you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm pulling for you now
Give me some rope I'm coming, out of my head, into the clear when you, go,
I, go, noose

These premonitions got me crying up a storm
Leave your condition, this position does no harm

Choke, on a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you
Choke, on a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you

Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm hanging on you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm pulling for you now
Give me some rope I'm coming, out of my head, into the clear when you, go,
I, go, noose

Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm hanging on you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm pulling for you now
Give me some hope I'm coming through, I'm coming out, yeah
Give me some rope, I'm coming out of my head, into the clear when you go,
I go, go

Loose

    I interpreted this song as someone in a relationship exposing their true self and really connecting rather than just being shallow...and a few things that come with this process including the worry of the outcome of the "next level" of relation perhaps. Shit, I dunno.

    my original miss heard lyrics just for lols were "yawwh! Anarchist, thought i'd save my presents for you!" lol.
