When introducing this song, Cheryl talked about the evolution of a relationship. You start out very much in love, but then you get to a point where you think "Is this all it is?"
This is a song about the pains and agony that happens when a relationship has matured. Where do you draw the line when to split up? How do you know if this as good as love will get? When it is over and beyond repair?
- Hard Line To Draw
- Words And Music By:
- Cheryl Wheeler
- We've been spending sleepless nights
- Wondering what to do
- And I don't know if I can take this
- When I look at you
- 'cause maybe we're just biding time
- 'til something comes along
- I need to slow down, I don't know now
- If this is right or wrong
- (Chorus)
- It's a hard line to draw
- Close play to call
- These days I just can't say at all
- And it's sure not black and white
- If the dream is worth the fight
- And I hope somehow we can work this out all right
- I know the fire and fascination
- Is bound to fade in time
- But can it be right when it seems like
- There's nothing left behind
- We ask ourselves a thousand questions
- Wondering how'd it come to this
- And now I'm not sure
- Maybe it's just me or maybe this is what love is
- (Repeat Chorus)
- And if love is blind
- Then we're a blank stare
- Half the time we're going nowhere
- I'm scared to change, don't want to tell you
- Scared to find out there's nothing left to lose
