Rip apart before we touch (version 2)

Intro

Hands go limp before the floor

Verse 1

Rope unwinds from a hook I don't see

Steel breathes in and my body starts to bend

Something pulls loose from where it used to be

I let the anchor drop without an end

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what you want that I could give

Tell me what you want before we leave

Give me something real before we fall apart

So I can remember how this feels in my heart

Chorus

Rip apart before we touch

Let the rope unwind, let it catch

Nothing left to hold onto but your eyes

Rip apart before we touch

Verse 2

The wire goes slack and I am not a line

I cut through everything that's holding me down

Whatever was holding still lets go in time

Something inside of me is turning round

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what you want that I could give

Tell me what you want before we leave

Give me something real before we fall apart

So I can remember how this feels in my heart

Chorus

Rip apart before we touch

Let the rope unwind, let it catch

Nothing left to hold onto but your eyes

Rip apart before we touch

Bridge

No more thread to pull me back

No more hands to catch a fall

Just you and I against the black

And nothing holding us at all

Chorus

Rip apart before we touch

Let the rope unwind, let it catch

Nothing left to hold onto but your eyes

Rip apart before we touch
