It Seems I'm You

Tear out my heartstrings and play the chords to the song I wanna hear.
Play it a little bit louder cause I'm all the way over here.
I'll listen closely for the words to guide me out,
and I'll follow you until the song stops ringing and your voice stops singing.

Tie my heartstrings together and you can make yourself a rope.
It's as strong as I am and I know I can hold you.
I will support your life even though it's so bitter.
I won't drop you, I swear it, just don't give me a reason to.

Throw it over the top and tie it to the mast.
Hoist the sails and ship out to the open sea.
The wind will start blowing but don't worry
it's just you and me.

Take that rope and tie one to each arm and each leg.
Make me dance however you want me to, I'm a puppet for you.
Make me a joke so you can laugh or friend you can talk to.
All you need to know is that I'm there for you.

Now take that rope,
make two loops,
thirteen more around
and you've got yourself a noose.
fasten it around me,
hang me out to dry.
Just don't cry,
I've had my time.
