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 Your lifeline, the 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 don? t wanna wait a lifetime Not yours, not mine Can? t you see me reaching for the lifeline? The lifeline, the lifeline Your lifeline, your life 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 The lifeline, the lifeline Your lifeline, your life Your life
