Lasso Lyrics

Cover art for Lasso lyrics by Phoenix

whether its about a relationship or just about life in general (i can see it as either), the singer is in love with this girl who, according to him, isnt living her life right. and he wants her to be with him and for her to follow her dreams, and subconsciously she does too.

i think the lasso is representing something to get what she wants in life.

where would you go, where would you go with a lasso? could you run into, could you run into, could you go and run into me?

the singer is asking her if she could have anything she wants, what would it be? and then he's saying do you want to be with me? and i think she said she wants to be with him. and that leads to the next part

where would you go, where would you go tied up to a lasso? could you run into, could you run into, could you go and run into me?

i think now he's telling her where you are right now, tied up to someone else's lasso, she can't get what she wants. then its kind of a rhetorical question saying you can't get to me tied up to someone's elses lasso

and basically the rest of the song is kind of elaborating on that, like you don't know how much better your life could be, and you should change and find your way so you can be happy.
