i get the feeling though that "waiting on a sharp knife" is a metaphor for the final blow that ends something. here, the relationship between two people. but what is so beautiful about this song, is that this relationship hasn't even begun yet. ("running to the start line.")
my other thought, is maybe the sharp knife is the relationship itself, somehow doomed to tragedy. i can't help but get visions of romeo and julliet (oh happy dagger, i suppose). either way, the lyrics are superb.
awesome song. great conclusion to a great album.
