In this song, the narrator notes the similarities between himself and the dog he rescued. In the first chorus the narrator describes how tough the last few months had been for Ginger, before she had an owner. For the remainder of the song, the narrator then slips between using “me” and “her” because...
[Verse 1]
Ginger's sleeping on the floor
Of a hardwood floor apartment
Maybe one day she'll have more to say
But right now, she has no comment
[Chorus]
Everything's a cavity
The last few months especially
But all of that's behind her now
Oh yeah, oh yeah
So you can tie her up, but don't tie her down
Yeah, you can tie her up, don't tie her down
[Verse 2]
Back before I got struck by lighting
Things were so much different than they are now
I got a lot more people leaning on me
And all I wanna do is make them proud
[Chorus]
But this is my body, the only thing that I own entirely
And it'll carry me to greatness somehow
Oh yeah, oh yeah
So you can tie me up, but don't tie me down
Yeah, you can tie me up
Don't tie me down, don't tie me down
[Bridge]
Every spider I kill
Stays inside of my pocket
I am so desperate to tame the beast
I shut the door and I lock it
I got a dead spider in my pocket
I'm not ashamed to say I was
Desperate to tame the beast
Desperate to tame the beast
[Chorus]
You can tie me up
(You can tie me up)
But don't tie me down
(Don't tie me down)
Yeah, you can tie me up
(You can tie me up)
But don't tie me down
(Don't tie me down)
Everything's a cavity
The last three months especially
But all of that's behind me now
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
So you can tie me up
Don't tie me down
