Golden Thread Lyrics

I’m holding on for dear life, it’s not looking good
Is it now, is it now?
It’s all up in the air and never coming down
Coming down, is it now?

Spinning through my fingers, watch it go
Out of my hands, out of my hands
All over again
I’m hanging on, just hanging by a golden thread
Just wanna know while everything’s unraveling
I’m hanging on, just hanging by a golden thread

Don’t sew it off; it’s lovely tearing at the seams
It’s what it is
It’s you and me
I’m standing in the in-between of what I was and what I need

Slipping through my fingers, watch it go
Out of my hands, out of my hands
All over again
I’m hanging on, just hanging by a golden thread
Just wanna know while everything’s unraveling
I’m hanging on, just hanging by a golden thread

Please don’t watch me, please don’t watch me cry
Oh I don’t wanna be this way
It’s harder than it looks, so please don’t watch me cry
And admit that I’m frayed

Out of my hands, out of my hands
All over again
I’m hanging on, just hanging by a golden thread
Just wanna know while everything’s unraveling
I’m hanging on, just hanging by a golden thread

Slipping through my fingers, watch it go

I think it's "admit that I'm afraid," even thought "frayed" fits with the subject matter.

You're right. Ugh, I just internet stalked you, and I don't care if you're a Man or a woman, I'm in love with you based on the songs you're interested in, hahahaha

When I watched the movie this song was in it made me realize there is so much more to life. And I fell in love with it. I listen to it a lot and it helps me get through most of the things that I go through. I know my life isn't easy and it sucks. I use to wish my life would be different that I was bored to a different family or born well different. But now that I watched To Save a Life I'm happy I don't think that way anymore.
