This song is about unintended consequences. We all want something we can hold on to. We may destroy everything trying to get a little certainty and safety.
lyrics
Nobody really wants to lose a good thing
But I see it again and again
Everybody really wants the same thing
Sometimes you lose trying too hard to win
Chorus:
The harder you hold on
The sooner it slips away
So don’t you take too much
You’ll end up with nothing at all
Here we are just a hanging by a thread
Pushin me baby but I ain't gonna bend
Started easy now it’s coming to an end
What’s the use in trying to pretend
(Chorus)
