Hanging by a thread
Connecting me to you
To who I've always been
To all we said we'd do
A fine thread
Not tough enough to bear
The weight of
Desire and despair
Untended
The fibres start to fray
The long years
Of working as one
Were just washed away
Well maybe
It was just our time
Forgive me
Remember that I'm
A good man
Just not good enough
Don't hate me
I was just in love
And hanging by a thread
Hold me in your arms
Where everything made sense
Where I knew right from wrong
Could live with restlessness
All my life
I won't forget the pain
In your eyes
I'm still scrubbing at the stain
Of this mess
Wish you could understand
The madness
That grabbed at my throat
And clung to my hands
Well maybe
It was just our time
Forgive me
Remember that I'm
A good man
Just not good enough
Don't hate me
I was just in love
And caught in my own net
Hanging
Left spinning in the wind
Sliding
You grab at anything
Just lost our way
We just lost our way
You try to
Be all things to all men
And wind up
With a love that's spread too thin
Just lost our way
The walls that we built
Were just washed away
Well maybe
It was just our time
Forgive me
Remember that I'm
A good man
Just not good enough
Don't hate me
I was just in love
And hanging by a thread
I don't know why I said
I'm not in love with you.
I think this is obviously about Tim cheating on his wife. I sort of lost respect for him after listening to this album, and it kind of ruins previous songs as they no longer sound as innocent... They even have a slight f***boy vibe. What\'s worst are the lyrics like "I was just in love" which seems to totally misunderstand why infidelity is so painful to the victims, there is no "just" in it at all. Catchy and emotional song though. At least he\'s good at something!
