When was the last time you felt like this?

HANGING BY A MOMENT
by Lifehouse

desperate for changing
starving for truth
closer to where I started
chasing after you

I'm falling even more in love with you
letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

forgetting all I'm lacking
completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
you take all of me now

I'm falling even more in love with you
letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
and I don't know what I'm diving into
just hanging by a moment here with you

there's nothing else to lose
there's nothing else to find
there's nothing in the world
that could change my mind
there is nothing else
there is nothing else
there is nothing else

desperate for changing
starving for truth
closer to where I started
chasing after you

I'm falling even more in love with you
letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
and I don't know what I'm diving into
just hanging by a moment here with you

just hanging by a moment
hanging by a moment
hanging by a moment
hanging by a moment here with you

I've tried to recall the exact moments when I felt such abandon of everything except for that one emotion. Images come to the surface: a phone call from a boy I was in love with at 15; a date in Hermann Park with my ex, when we made out beside the lake; the night my husband proposed to me, and I knew I didn't ever want to be any place in the world but right there next to him.

Listen to this song if you have access to it, and ask yourself when you last felt that way. Was it a long time ago, or recently? Was it about the person you're with now?
