Above & Beyond – Thing Called Love Lyrics 14 years ago
"There was a time
There was a place
But there was fear inside"

-He and she were attracted to each other but she didn't want to enter a relationship because she had been hurt by someone else in the past. She rejects him.

"To cross a line, takes a tiny step
But will this spark, cause the bridge to burn
My fear entwined with my regret
I'll beat a path to safe return."

-He's pondering whether he should blow her off or just accept her as a friend. He chooses to be her friend in the hope that things may change in the future.

"Have I lost my only chance
To tell you how I feel inside
Is it just me, I'd like to know?
Or are we all just a little blind?"

-He's wondering if she'll ever change her mind because she's "blind" in the sense that she rejected him, not seeing all he had to offer.

"...And it's a wasted love
That we all regret"

-Nobody wants to be in a relationship where their feelings are not honestly reciprocated... This is where the girl was hurt in the past. Her love was "wasted" because her former partner chose to hurt her.


This is honestly one of the most beautiful songs I've come across in a long time. The lyrics are brief while still holding a deeper meaning that nearly everyone can relate to.
