Hangin’ On By a Thread
A familiar story
A sad affair of the heart
We spend all this time
Tryin' to find the glow in the dark
Gentle changes
The eyes still look the same
A familiar heartbeat
I go weak when you walk in
I'm hangin' on by a thread
Too many voices in my ear
Too many memories locked in here
I'm hangin' on by a thread
Too many voices in my ear
We hurt each other
Then wonder why
We lie broken in two
I was dreaming
That you were here with me
And through an open window
We could look through straight to the sea
I'm hangin' on by a thread
Too many voices in my ear
Too many memories locked in here
I'm hangin' on by a thread
Too many voices in my ear
We hurt each other
Then wonder why
We lie broken in two
And if I lose you now
Lose you now
A familiar story
A sad affair of the heart
