And a little piece of hope holding us together.
Looking for a moment that'll never happen,
Living in the gap between past and future.”

Context: Take away the love and the anger,
And a little piece of hope holding us together.

Living in the gap between past and future.
Take away the stone and the timber,
And a little piece of rope won't hold it together.
