Prompt / Lyrics
(Verse 1) Draggin’ this dead weight love, Like a rope made out of flame, Tryin’ to pull you closer, girl, But you never stay the same. You’re always chasin’ midnight, Runnin’ wild with no plan, While I’m standin’ in the wreckage Tryin’ to be your steady man. (Pre-Chorus) I keep holdin’ on— You keep breakin’ free. Why am I the only one Bleedin’ for this thing. (Chorus) Yeah Holdin’ this rope is burnin’ my hands, Holding on to a girl, that I can’t land. You’re a runaway flame with a wild soul, I’m a fool goin’ after what I can’t hold. Yeah, holdin’ this rope is burnin’ my hands— Feels like a fire that I can’t stand [Guitar Solo] (Verse 2) You’ve got a red fuse heart, you light it every time, Blowin’ up the promises You swore were yours and mine. I keep tightenin’ my fist, Thinkin’ love might change your course, But every time I pull you close You find a way out, against my force (Pre-Chorus) I keep holdin’ on— But you’re already gone. I’m tangled in the fire While you just burn on. (Chorus) Yeah Holdin’ this rope is burnin’ my hands, Holding on to a girl, that I can’t land. You’re a runaway flame with a wild soul, I’m a fool goin’ after what I can’t hold. Yeah, holdin’ this rope is burnin’ my hands— Feels like a fire that I can’t stand (Bridge – BIG, ANTHEMIC) I could drop it… Let it fall… Let the fire fade out once and for all. But every time I think I’m free— You pull that rope right back through me. (Chorus) Yeah Holdin’ this rope is burnin’ my hands, Holding on to a girl, that I can’t land. You’re a runaway flame with a wild soul, I’m a fool goin’ after what I can’t hold. Yeah, holdin’ this rope is burnin’ my hands— Feels like a fire that I can’t stand Yeah Holdin this rope is burning my hands…yeah yeah Yeah holding this rope… Holdin this rope is burning my hands, Feels like a fire that I can’t stand… [Harmonica and guitar fade out]
