There's a fine, fine line between a lover and a friend;
There's a fine, fine line between reality and pretend...
I guess if someone doesn't love you back, it isn't such a crime,
But there's a fine, fine line between love and a waste of time.
Those are lyrics from a song i heard for the first time today, track 12 on the Avenue Q CD. The musical is quite funny (and perhaps one of the more sexually explicit i've heard in a while). When i heard this particular song, "There's a fine, fine line," it really stuck out. It's got a great melody, it's well sung, and i knew exactly what it meant.
There's a fine, fine line between a genius and a fool; between thinking and believing; between hope and torture. It's not always easy to know which side you are on.

Kate Monster:
There's a fine, fine line between a lover and a friend;
There's a fine, fine line between reality and pretend;
And you never know 'til you reach the top if it was worth the uphill climb.
There's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time.
There's a fine, fine line between a fairy tale and a lie;
And there's a fine, fine line between "You're wonderful" and "Goodbye."
I guess if someone doesn't love you back it isn't such a crime,
But there's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of your time.
And I don't have the time to waste on you anymore.
I don't think that you even know what you're looking for.
For my own sanity, I've got to close the door
And walk away...
Oh...
There's a fine, fine line between together and not.
And there's a fine, fine line between what you wanted and what you got.
You gotta go after the things you want while you're still in your prime...
There's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time.
Greetings Mr. Flick!
Thanks for the lyrics. Just what I was looking for.
J.M.
