I think it's Joni being dual again (dualous?
dualistic?) In other words, putting several different
meanings into one little phrase. It could mean "hang
up [as a painting]; or it could mean she's "hung-up"
on the guy; or that he's holding her back. I'd go
with all of the above (and maybe more.)
Envying Bob going to the gym. Now I've got pneumonia
and pleurisy and my ribs are killing me - I'm afraid
to breathe, but if I don't, I'm dead, ain't I?
