Said the Whale - On the Ropes

I was on the ropes when you needed my hands
I was on the dope when you needed me down
I was on the hip when you needed my heart
I was on the hopes that you needed me now

And I was on the roof and you were the stars
I was on your lips, you were in my heart
I was on the first boat out of this town
You were on the front porch waving me out

I was on the ropes when you needed me
And I was on the dope when you needed to know
I was on the cuff when you needed my sleeve
I was on the roots when you needed to grow

More than ever I can see into the back of my mind
And I find me alone, me alone, me alone baby
Be alone, be alone, be alone baby

I was on the ropes when you needed my hands
I was on the dope when you needed me down
I was on the hip when you needed my heart
I was on the hopes that you needed me now

More than ever I can see into the back of mind
Baby I find me alone, me alone, me alone

And I was on the moon in the back of my van
We were in the bedroom talking on old tin cans

And we'll be alone, be alone baby
Be alone, be alone, be alone, be alone
