Ben Harper - Lifeline lyrics

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?

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

Yours or mine, yours or mine

Can't you see me reaching for the lifeline?

The lifeline, the lifeline

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?

The lifeline, your lifeline, the lifeline
