Rope
Foo Fighters · Wasting Light [2011]
Been cheating gravity and waiting on the falls
How did this come over me, thought I was above it all
Our hopes gone up in smoke, swallow your crow
Choke, on a kiss, thought I'd save my breath for you
Choke, on a kiss, thought I'd save my breath for you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm hanging on you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm pulling for you now
Give me some rope I'm coming, out of my head, into the clear
When you, go, I, come, loose
These premonitions got me crying up a storm
Leave your condition, this position does no harm
(Yowh!) On a kiss, thought I'd save my breath for you
(Yowh!) On a kiss, thought I'd save my breath for you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm hanging on you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm pulling for you now
Give me some rope I'm coming, out of my head, into the clear
When you, go, I, come, loose
Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm hanging on you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm pulling for you now
Give me some hope I'm coming through, I'm counting on you
Give me some rope I'm coming, out of my head, into the clear
When you, go, I, come
Loose!

As part of a celebrated era in their discography, Rope reinforces the Foo Fighters' status as a cornerstone of modern alternative rock, delivering a powerful performance that resonates with both longtime fans and new listeners alike.
