Heart On The Line [Glen Burtnik]

Heart On The Line
Written by Glen Burtnick
Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnick, Reed Nielsen

She is an angel
But heaven has eluded her
Now she's just walking tired
Heart on the line

She doesn't feel bad
Someone is protecting her
She runs with her own kind
Heart on the line

Heart on the line again
Seems like that's the way it's always been
There'll always be a chance you'll get it wrong and
Heart on the line again
You either leave it out or keep it in
It isn't any good if it's not open
Heart on the line

And he will love her
Even when she's far away
Safe in his own mind
Heart on the line

Heart on the line again
Seems like that's the way it's always been
There'll always be a chance you'll get it wrong and
Heart on the line again
You either leave it out or keep it in
It isn't any good if it's not open
Heart on the line

Heart on the line
Heart on the line

When the rain starts to fall
You can't quit you put your
Heart on the line

Heart on the line again
Nothing else will matter in the end
It isn't any good if it's not open
Heart on the line

Heart on the line
Heart on the line

When the rain starts to fall
You can't quit,; you put your
Heart on the line

Heart on the line
Heart on the line
Heart on the line
Heart on the line

Interpretation

When you put your heart on the line, exposing yourself to another, you can get hurt. That's the only way to love, though, so you have to take that risk. You have God and friends to support you.
