Salome Lyrics

Salome, uncross your heart.
I know what goes on inside, it's over before it starts.
Well I'll stay all night, I'll wait right here.
The full moon might work magic girl, but I won't disappear.

CHORUS:
And I'm tired of making friends, and I'm tired of making time,
And I'm sick to death of love, and I'm sick to death of trying.
And it's easier for you, yeah it's easier for you.
And it's easier for you, yeah it's easier for you.

Salome, untie my hands.
Well I'll find another lady, and you'll wreck another man.
It's over now, yeah and so are we.
My blood's turned to dirt girl, you broke every part of me.

And I'm tired of making friends, and I'm tired of making time,
And I'm sick to death of love, and I'm sick to death of trying.
And it's easier for you, yeah it's easier for you.
And it's easier for you, yeah it's easier for you.

(repeat chorus)

Unsure if this is what the title of the song refers to, but in the Bible, Salome was the name of the dancer whose stepfather, Herod, asked to dance for him and his guests at a gathering. In return, Salome was promised anything she wanted, and she asked for John the Baptist's head on a platter. Nowadays, Salome is a name that is commonly associated with belly dancers. Oscar Wilde also wrote a one-act play about Salome that was later turned into an opera by Richard Strauss. The scene in which Salome was presented with John the Baptist's head is also portrayed in several famous paintings.

I can really relate to this, getting mixed messages from someone and feeling like you can't move on to another guy untill he will "untie my hands"
