Drop the ball, watch it fall far below
Suck you in, hold your breath
The undertow creeps in slow
Everyone owns a gun deep inside
It's just a matter of how much you let it slide
Drop the ball, watch it fall far below
Suck you in, hold your breath
The undertow creeps in slow
Everyone owns a gun deep inside
It's just a matter of how much you let it slide
Help me help you they won't be there
Help me help you they won't see
It hurts when you need me
And I can't break your fall
It hurts when you can't see
And it hurts
Drop the switch, scratch the itch, watch it grow
Inch by inch, the cutting board, watch it swing to and frau
Everyone carries one deep inside
It's just a matter of how much you let it slide
Wash it off, take the loss, let it go
Take it in, drink it up, we can just take it slow
Everyone carries one deep inside
It's just a matter of how much you let it slide
Help me help you they won't be there
Help me help you they won't see
It hurts when you need me
And I can't break your fall
It hurts when you can't see
And it hurts
It hurts when you need me
And I can't break your fall
It hurts when you can't see
And it hurts
And it hurts when you're lonely
And I'm standing right beside you there
And it hurt when you told me
That you told me that you tried this on your own
Hope you never hurt
Hope you never cry
Hope you never lose your way tonight
Hope you never crumble
Hope you never fall
Hope you never throw away the
Drop the ball, watch it fall far below
Suck you in, hold your breath, watch it swing
It hurts when you need me
And I can't break your fall
It hurts when you can't see
And it hurts
It hurts when you need me
And I can't break your fall
It hurts when you can't see
And it hurts
And it hurts
And it hurts
And it hurts
And it hurts
And it hurts
And it hurts
Suck you in, hold your breath
The undertow creeps in slow
Everyone owns a gun deep inside
It's just a matter of how much you let it slide
Drop the ball, watch it fall far below
Suck you in, hold your breath
The undertow creeps in slow
Everyone owns a gun deep inside
It's just a matter of how much you let it slide
Help me help you they won't be there
Help me help you they won't see
It hurts when you need me
And I can't break your fall
It hurts when you can't see
And it hurts
Drop the switch, scratch the itch, watch it grow
Inch by inch, the cutting board, watch it swing to and frau
Everyone carries one deep inside
It's just a matter of how much you let it slide
Wash it off, take the loss, let it go
Take it in, drink it up, we can just take it slow
Everyone carries one deep inside
It's just a matter of how much you let it slide
Help me help you they won't be there
Help me help you they won't see
It hurts when you need me
And I can't break your fall
It hurts when you can't see
And it hurts
It hurts when you need me
And I can't break your fall
It hurts when you can't see
And it hurts
And it hurts when you're lonely
And I'm standing right beside you there
And it hurt when you told me
That you told me that you tried this on your own
Hope you never hurt
Hope you never cry
Hope you never lose your way tonight
Hope you never crumble
Hope you never fall
Hope you never throw away the
Drop the ball, watch it fall far below
Suck you in, hold your breath, watch it swing
It hurts when you need me
And I can't break your fall
It hurts when you can't see
And it hurts
It hurts when you need me
And I can't break your fall
It hurts when you can't see
And it hurts
And it hurts
And it hurts
And it hurts
And it hurts
And it hurts
And it hurts

To me, this song is about how sin can tear you apart from the ones you love, especially sinful addictions..I speak all this from my life.
In the first verse, the "undertow" is your sin, your addiction that separates you from the one you love. The undertow is an underlying force that is in opposition to the apparent force...it perfectly describes how your sin or inner conflict can creep into the center of your life so stealthily. As for the gun, it symbolizes how incredibly easy it is to destroy things...it just takes a bullet and a working finger. Your sin starts out as a simple thorn, but if you let it slide to much, it will grown into something capable of much more destruction, like a gun. Your sin or problem has the ability to wreck your life or the relationship that you have or want with someone, or in my case, this one girl...
The other verse now. The itch is also your small little sin..you know you shouldn't scratch it because it will get bigger and worsen over time, but it gives you a good feeling temporarily for the time that you are scratching it..
"Wash it off, take the loss, let it go." After you do this sin, you realize it was wrong, so you just accept that you have sinned "take the loss", decide to have a new start and not sin anymore "let it go", and ask forgiveness from God "wash it off"...only to do it again...
As for the rest of the song, it's pretty self explanatory..when I do this sin, the circumstances it puts me in separates me from the girl I love..I can't be there for her because I'm obssessed with this problem...
"And it hurts when you're lonely
and I'm standing right beside you there
And it hurt when you told me
that you'll try this on your own"
Personally, my favorite lines. Some lyrics I have read read as "And it hurt when you told me that YOU'D TRIED this on your own". When it reads this way, it's so powerful. Like instead of asking me to help her through something she was facing, she didn't let me know about it and faced it alone, then 5 months later she told me about the problem she faced...it makes me feel like she didn't trust me enough, or we weren't as close as I wished we were...
"Hope you never hurt
Hope you never cry
Hope you never lose your way tonight
Hope you never crumble
Hope you never fall
Hope you never throw away it..."
For that last line, I hear it more like "Hope you never throw away - " Then he's cut off, like he was about to say something important, like he hopes she never throws away the weakening relationship between them..
"It hurts when you can't see
and it hurts"
I hear: "it hurts when you can't see - ..." Like he's not going to say that missing phrase...and he just says "it hurts...i hear: "it hurts when you can't see that I love you, so much..."
It absolutely amazed me that there was a band with lyrics so powerful...i love TFK!!!
This is my own meaning, and it came from my own life experience..if someone else if facing the same problem that I am, I know that they see this song the same way..

And it hurts when you need me
and I can't break your fall
It hurts when you can't see
and it hurts...
And it hurts when you're lonely
and I'm standing right beside you there
And it hurt when you told me
that you'll try this on your own
I like to really listen to the lyrics, see underneath them. See if there are any secret meanings, but who knows I might be wrong, the only one who really knows is the singer or the one who wrote the lyrics...
