The Rope Lyrics by Holm

Why Don’t You Dance

2022

[Verse 1]
This city is not enough, I better examine the symptoms
What is happening with this rock steady boat
I better examine the bilge
Oh, we're stuck in a shallow puddle
Just going to let that sink in for a second
Hopefully everyone on board can find an easy way out
I've put signs above the doors
[Chorus]
These things always happen to you when I'm not around
These things always happen to you when you hit the ground
[Post-Chorus]
We've got another defector
Better tighten the rope next time
We've got another defector
Better examine the boat next time
[Verse 2]
I bet you woke up in a wrong costume this morning
Yeah, because you wrote me a message explaining how you think self-indulgence is mandatory
You really got me, I couldn't find a way to answer
It was a quiet victory
But I'm certain you still need a little me in your life
[Chorus]
These things always happen to you when I'm not around
These things always happen to you when you hit the ground
(Around, around, around, around...)
These things always happen to you when I'm not around
