Hanging In There Lyrics

give me hope
maybe i will know it's not...
to bring me rope
and tangle myself in a knot

please untie me
i really shouldn't be dying so young
too entirely tired to breathe
seems every breath now is a yawn

(1)
i don't want the sympathy
and this is not your symphony
i wonder what it is in me
to continue this in you

(2)
look into your heart
and i'll be hanging up in there
look into your heart
and i'll be hanging up in there

where i dangle way low
from an angel halo
what you want i don't know
why didn't you say so?

footloose out of approval
this noose only knows removal
and when i sing this straight to you all
cut me some slack or let me fall

no formula, no format
but i'll find where the warm's at
down low on the floormat
i'm a sore man, on a storm path

(1) pre-chorus

(2) chorus

by a thread, on a board
on a fret, by a chord
choking my throat as i sing my last note

this hand of mine's always been still
that was way before you shook it
snapped in two like a pencil
you wrote with before you booked it

caught up in the end
i try opening an eye to have it see
these energies ascend
suspended up above all gravity

you left me hanging again (2x)
