throw me a rope

[anomalis]

i lost you a while ago, and still i don't know why
i can't say your name without a crow flying by
gotta watch my back, now that you turned me around
got me walking backwards into my home town

throw me a rope on the rolling tide
what did you want it to be?
you said it's him or me
the way you made it, that's the way it will be

i've never been so disabused, never been so mad
i've never been served anything that tasted so bad
you might need a friend, any day now, any day..
oh my brother be careful, you are drifting away...

throw me a rope on the rolling tide
what did you want it to be?
you said it's him or me
the way you made it, that's the way it will be
