Can't you see me reaching for the lifeline?

Life is much too short to sit and wonder

Who's gonna make the next move and will slowly pull you under when you've always got something to prove?

I don't want to wait a lifetime

Yours or mine, yours or mine

Can't you see me reaching for the lifeline?

Your lifeline, your lifeline

The lifeline, your lifeline

You say that I misheard you but I think you misspoke

I hear you laugh so loudly while I patiently await the joke

I could hold out for a lifetime

Yours or mine, yours or mine

Can't you see me reaching for the lifeline?

Your lifeline, your lifeline, the lifeline

Your life...

It's a crime with only victims

We're all laid out in a row

It's hardest to listen to what we already should know

I don't want to waist a lifetime

Not yours, not mine

Can't you see me reaching for the lifeline?

Your lifeline, the lifeline

Your lifeline, your lifeline

The lifeline, your life... your life... line.
