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, 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 want to 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
It's hardest to listen
to what we already should know
I could hold out for a lifetime
Yours or mine, yours or mine
Can't you see me reaching for your lifeline?
your lifeline, your lifeline
the lifeline, the lifeline
your lifeline, your life, your life
