I see salvation themes in this...doubt that he is worthy. Not just religious, but for love in general.

You feel in me Anything redeeming Any worthwhile feeling Is love like a tightrope Hanging from the ceiling

Am I worthy of being redeemed or forgiven? Is love a thin line that I can easily fall off of? Have I ruined it all somehow?

I agree that it seems to be about a young boy, wondering about the world and his place in it. Beautiful lyrics.
