Although it's not widely known, the part where he says "love is spiders on the edge, and we're hanging by a thread..." is actually a quote from the sermon Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, by John Edwards. It's saying that we are l ike spiders, suspended over hellfire by a single thread, and that it's a miracle that God has spared us for any small length of time.
