Analysis of Catch My Rope
Catch My Rope
Will there come a time when you can catch my rope?
Staring into space without a telescope
Moving from a mattress to a bed of nails
Trusting only strangers with no bill of sale
Tried to make contact but you're lost in time
Curiosity can be you're only crime
Time to take your medicine without a choice
Let it be tonight you get to hear my voice
Sending out a signal with each puff of smoke
Turning in your head like a kaleidoscope
Sacrificing all without a guarantee
Will there come a time you come back home to me?
