Can’t you see me reaching for the lifeline?
Your lifeline, your lifeline

Life is much to short to sit and wonder
Who’s goanna make the next move?
And will it 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
Your lifeline, your lifeline

You say that I misheard you
But I think you misspoke
I hear you laugh so loudly
While I patiently wait for joke

I don’t want to wait a lifetime
Not yours
Not mine
Can’t you see me reaching for the lifeline?
Your lifeline, your lifeline
Your lifeline, your lifeline

It’s a crime with only victims
We’re all laid out in a row
And it’s hardest to listen
To what we already should know

I could hold out for a lifetime
Yours or mine
Yours and mine
Can’t you see me reaching for your lifeline?
Your lifeline, your lifeline
Your lifeline, your lifeline
