Hanging by a thread
Watching the water rise
Living on borrowed time
Not knowing where it ends
Hanging by a thread
Above a great divide
Acting like we can fly
And that it's not pretend
Oh but then again
We know we're just hanging by a thread
Hanging by a thread
That remains unseen
That sews the seam
Between the heart and head
Hanging by a thread
Is the price to pay
For another day
Without a net
And though we might forget
We're here but we're just hanging by a thread
Hanging by a thread
Beats the alternative
We get away with it
Until one day it ends
Hanging by a thread
For just a little while
And though keep a smile
And it remains unsaid
All that lies ahead
Is hanging by a little thread
We're here but we're just hanging by a thread
We're hanging by a thread
