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
