Hanging By A Moment

Lifehouse · Now That's What I Call Music, Vol. 9 [2001]

Desperate for changing

Starving for truth

I'm 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 can change my mind



There is nothing e-e-e-e-e-e-else

There is nothing e-e-e-e-e-e-else

There is nothing else



Desperate for changing

Starving for truth

I'm 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

Hanging By A Moment

Lifehouse's 'Hanging By A Moment' stands as a defining track from their early career, originally released on the 2000 album 'No Name Face.' The song captures the band's signature blend of alternative rock and melodic pop, characterized by its soaring vocals and emotive guitar work. While later featured on compilation albums like 'Now That's What I Call Music, Vol. 9,' the recording remains a staple of their discography, reflecting the emotional intensity that would define their subsequent work on albums such as 'Smoke & Mirrors.' The track exemplifies the band's ability to craft anthemic songs that resonate with listeners through themes of vulnerability and connection, cementing their place in the mid-2000s alternative landscape.
