“Hangin In” is the first single released from We Were Promised Jetpacks' fourth album, The More I Sleep The Less I Dream. It was released through an article on 19 July 2018.
Structurally, the song sounds very familiar. All the lyrics tightly build around a single concept, with several lines being r...
[Verse 1]
I wish I had a secret
Something I could share
But no one knows me better than
I know myself but I'm forgetful
When it seems to suit me most
There's something I should say
This is real talk
In real time
[Chorus 1]
And I'm hanging in
To the thinnest piece of string that's ever existed
Eh-eheh
[Verse 2]
I wish I had the gall
When something's on my mind
But no one knows you better than
You know yourself so don't be nervous
And maybe I'll admit it
I know I'm not so smart
No one knows me better than
I know myself but I'm forgetful
[Chorus 2]
And I'm hanging in
To the thinnest piece of string that's ever existed
I'm hanging in
If I turn around and blink I'm sure I can miss it
I-I-It
[Interlude]
I-I-It
I-I-It
[Outro]
You're walking me, talking me
Pushing me under the bus
You're walking me, talking me
Pushing me under the bus
Don't push me don't push me
Don't push me don't push
Don't push me don't push me
Don't push me don't push
You're walking me, talking me
Pushing me under the bus
You're walking me, talking me
Pushing me under the bus
Don't ask me don't ask me
Don't ask me don't ask
Don't push me don't push me
Don't push me don't push
You're walking me, talking me
Pushing me under the bus
Don't rush me don't rush me
Don't rush me don't rush

The BrooklynVegan article in which “Hangin In” was premiered including a quote:
“Hanging In” was the last song we wrote for the album, and once we finished it we knew we were ready. Thematically, it pulls the rest of the album together so it makes sense for it to be the first single, and the first...
