Down To the Wire
Clutching Hope: Navigating Life's Wire with Fates Warning
Lyrics
Has it been so long
Expressing a sense of time having passed
I can't remember what we last talked about
Unable to recall the previous conversation
My friend, forgive me
Asking for forgiveness from a friend
Do you think of me as I think of you
Wondering if the friend thinks about the singer as much as they do
I owe my life to
Feeling indebted to someone or something
I hold on clutching to the hope that I'll be strong
Clutching onto hope for strength during a challenging situation
When it comes down to the wire
Anticipating a critical or decisive moment
I'll hold on to with every ounce of strength within me
Intent to hold on fiercely with all available strength
When it comes down to the wire
Emphasizing the critical nature of the impending situation
Don't think I've not thought
Clarifying that the singer has considered the importance of the friend
Of what you mean to me, I do constantly
Constantly mindful of the friend's significance
My friend, forgive me
Repeated request for forgiveness from the friend
Do you think of me as I think of you
Recurrence of wondering if the friend reciprocates thoughts
I owe my life to
Reiterating the sense of indebtedness
I hold on clutching to the hope that I'll be strong
Grasping onto hope for inner strength in a critical moment
When it comes down to the wire
Anticipating the necessity to persevere during a crucial time
I'll hold on to with every ounce of strength within me
Commitment to holding on with utmost strength
When it comes down to the wire
Emphasizing the impending critical situation again
My friend, forgive me
Repeating the plea for forgiveness
Do you think of me as I think of you
Reiteration of reciprocal thoughts between friends
I wish it were different
Expressing a desire for circumstances to be different
I wish I could take your pain
Wishing to alleviate the friend's pain
And now that I've found you
Feeling like the friend has been found again but is still lost
I feel like I've lost you again
Experiencing a sense of loss despite reconnection
