Swinging on the lifeline, fraying bits of twine

Entangled in the remnants of the knot I left behind

And asking you to help me make it finally unwind


But God never listens to what I say

God never listens to what I say

And you don't get a refund if you overpray


And when the line is breaking and when I'm near the end

When all the time spent leading I've been following instead

When all my thoughts and memories are left hanging by a thread


repeat chorus


Stranded on this slender string

The minutes seem to last a lifetime

Dangling here between the light above

And blue below that drags me down


repeat chorus
