Well, I'm not superstitious
But there's something going on inside
Could be friendly, could be vicious
And there isn't any place to hide
It's my imagination, a blessing or a curse
No, I can't ignore it for better or for worse
It wakes me when I'm sleeping
A thief that takes my breath away
And I find myself reaching for a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline and bring me back in time
I need a lifeline, throw me a lifeline
I'm going down for the last time
Sometimes, I can't control it
Sometimes, it isn't there at all
Sometimes, I try to roll it
And wind up staring at the wall
My imagination, I love the games it plays
I get in so deep that I get lost for days and days
It sometimes leaves me shakin'
Standin' in the dark alone
And I find myself reaching for a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline and bring me back in time
I need a lifeline, throw me a lifeline
I'm going down for the last time
Can't you see that I am reaching?
And I find myself reaching for a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline and bring me back, back in time
I need a lifeline, throw me a lifeline
I'm going down for the last time
I need a lifeline, throw me a lifeline
I'm going down, down, down, down, down for the last time
Lifeline, going down for the last time
I was in some timeless space
Timeless face of my embrace
Held empty air and empty space
All on a sunny day
She lived by the bounding main
To Baltimore I took a plane
An east coast lady lit my flame
All on a sunny day
I was in some dreamless sleep
Where angels watch as lovers leap
Some of them landed on their feet
Letting the lifeline stray
She was like the breath of spring
Where flowers grow and robins sing
Keeping me from the pouring rain
All on a summer's day
There's a lifeline that I know
And it holds me back, and lets me go
Whatever I do
I don't let my lifeline stray
So it goes as lifetimes pass
From heart to mind and back again
My restlessness becomes a flame
Letting my lifeline show
She stood by the boundless tide
Afraid to ride, afraid to hide
Letting her conscience be her guide
Needing a lifeline so
I was in some aimless state
Where lovers meet while angels wait
With gifts of time they hesitate
All on a sunny day
She lived by the bounding main
From Baltimore I took a train
An east coast lady lit my flame
All on a summer's day
There's a lifeline in my soul
And it holds me back and lets me go
I'm in love so I've been told
Letting the lifeline stay
I've got a heart line in the air
And if you listen for me you'll find me there
Whatever I do
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?
Like a fighter that lost his will to kill
You knew it was time to go,
But as I lay in a state of surrender
You chose me to say your last hello.
Like a fighter that lost his will to kill
You knew it was time to go.
You came upon me
As I lay in a state of surrender.
You say you're not afraid
You know me well.
Because I felt you die
Why did you say you would touch me?
The wind blew sugar-sweet
I'm running out of time this time
This time I can't be late
I've got to find my destiny
Before it turns to fate
I feel so insecure, I feel so all alone
I need something, some possession of my own
I reach for what I want
I see it in my sleep
It's hard to get a hold of it
And it's twice as hard to keep
Someone help me lifeline
I grab the rope in front of me
It keeps slipping through my hands
I try to climb with all of my strength
But it trickles through like sand
This feeling's too secure, it's like a ball and chain
Yeah, I know there's something dragging in my brain
Now another rope appears
I've got it snug and tight
This is one that I can't let go of
No matter how I fight
I'm running out of time this time
This time I can't be late
I've got to find my destiny
Before it turns to fate
I feel so insecure, I feel so all alone
I need something, some possession of my own
I reach for what I want
I see it in my sleep
It's hard to get a hold of it
And it's twice as hard to keep
Someone help me lifeline
I grab the rope in front of me
It keeps slipping through my hands
I try to climb with all of my strength
But it trickles through like sand
This feeling's too secure, it's like a ball and chain
Yeah, I know there's something dragging in my brain
Now another rope appears
I've got it snug and tight
This is one that I can't let go of
No matter how I fight
Hear the call of the wind
Feel the dying answer
Steel on the mind
Cold in the veins
Torture and trial
Sunrise over the limits
Conquest and fire
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive on a lifeline
I'm alive
I'm alive
Spirits provide
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive on a lifeline
Come to the mountain and climb
You cry in the wilds
Hope on the ledges
Your heart's in the stars
Night's in your eyes
The rockface inclines
hold her, leave her
Rise to glory
Over mankind
(Chorus)
When I was a boy I didn't care 'bout a thing
It was me and this world and a broken dream
I was blaming myself for all that was going wrong
I was way out there on the wrong side of town
And the ones that I loved I started pushing 'em out
Then I realized that it was all my fault
I've been looking for a lifeline
For what seems like a lifetime
I'm drowning in the pain, breaking down again
Looking for a lifeline
So I put out my hand and I asked for some help
We tore down the walls I built around myself
I was struck by the light and I fell to the ground
I've been looking for a lifeline
For what seems like a lifetime
I'm drowning in the pain, breaking down again
Looking for a lifeline
Is there anybody out there?
Can you pull me from this ocean of despair?
I'm drowning in the pain, breaking down again
Looking for a lifeline
You know a heart of gold won't take you all the way
And in a world so cold it's hard to keep the faith
I'm never gonna fade away, yeah
I've been looking for a lifeline
For what seems like a lifetime
I'm drowning in the pain, breaking down again
Looking for a lifeline
Is there anybody out there?
Can you pull me from this ocean of despair?
I'm drowning in the pain, breaking down again
Looking for a lifeline
Rolling
Down the sunny avenues
Well... all this running around
I'm back on the road with you
again baby
Free ride
I haven't got a care in the world
There's only me and you girl
Back on the road with you again baby
Sweet life we're holding onto this life
And all because you've saved me
Zero to hero that's what you made me
Lady, you know that she excites me
But her mama never liked me
I'm back on the road with you
again baby
Don't pick no hole in my soul
Don't you spoil my sweet charade
I get high on the girl
For me she was clearly made
And don't get mixed up about it
'Cos she won't leave me at sea
I get a groove with the girl
She got a lifeline out to me
Deadlines...
We won't be needing any of those
no more
It seems like the right time
To be back on the road with you
again baby
I feel like...
I'll never feel the cold now
I'll never be alone now
'Cos I'm back on the road with
you again
Don't pick no hole in my soul
Don't you spoil my sweet charade
I get high on the girl
For me she was clearly made
I don't need no destination
'Cos my baby's saving me
She got the lifeline of love
she got it all thrown out to me
Don't lose me now
'Cos I need you baby, need
you baby
We gotta get up
Run away baby
We gotta get on
Run away baby
You know your mama never
liked me
She said we gonna break up
Said it's gonna never work
But it's too bad baby
We're back on the road again
And now we're moving
Running to the sunset
(back on the road again)
Just me and you together
(back on the road again)
I got a groove on the girl
(back on the road again)
Her mama didn't like me
Don't pick no hole in my soul
Don't you spoil my sweet charade
I get high on the girl yeh
For me she was clearly made
And don't get mixed up about it
'Cos she won't leave me at sea
I get a groove with the girl
She got a lifeline out to me
Just got my feel good factor
And it's gone right through the roof
I get the blues with the news
Girl let's get it on the hoof
Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
A lifeline of love yeh
Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
A lifeline of love yeh
Oh I need your lifeline of love
Get it out to me
Well I need her
Don't lose me now
Don't lose me now
I got your lifeline all thrown out to me
Oh I've got your lifeline
Maker of the sun and shade
The plans were made before the morning
At a time when no one knew
He left a clue and sent us a lifeline... It's fine
Then along came a man like me
With everything laid out before him
Then it all came crashing down
A man can drown from thoughts in his own mind
Like something deep inside my soul
Was sinking fast; I was the hole
When I was almost out of time
He gave me a lifeline right down to my soul
He gave me a lifeline that I might grab a hold
Suffering was nothing new
My days were few without a let down
Something down there deep inside
Dissatisfied with everything I'd find
And in the clouds he sent the sky
Into a desert running dry
He sent a river full of life
He gave me a lifeline right down to my soul
He gave me a lifeline that I might grab a hold
He gave me a lifeline when I was cast away
He gave me a lifeline right up from the grave
He sent me a lifeline when I was on my own
Far from the borders he came brought me home
He sent me a lifeline when I was down the hole
My world was like an ocean raging out of control
Send me a lifeline
Send me a lifeline
Once upon another time
He made my mind a different color
Painted on my destiny away between
The black and lonely sky... Let's fly!
He gave me a lifeline right down to my soul
He gave me a lifeline that I might grab a hold
He gave me a lifeline when I was cast away
He gave me a lifeline and I'm alive today
He gave me a lifeline
He gave me a lifeline and I'm alive today
He gave me a lifeline
I'm running out of time this time
This time I can't be late
I've got to find my destiny
Before it turns to fate
I feel so insecure, I feel so all alone
I need something, some possession of my own
I reach for what I want
I see it in my sleep
It's hard to get a hold of it
And it's twice as hard to keep
Someone help me lifeline
I grab the rope in front of me
It keeps slipping through my hands
I try to climb with all of my strength
But it trickles through like sand
This feeling's too secure, it's like a ball and chain
Yeah, I know there's something dragging in my brain
Now another rope appears
I've got it snug and tight
This is one that I can't let go of
Follow the lifeline I labelled so neat
Through every lifetime from scars that run deep
Follow the love tracks unrivalled unmatched
Book me the right train I'd love to nip back
Set up high above the Pyrenees
Set up high on the road of release
My brain, my arms, my chain, my charms
My aims, my itch, my foes, I've licked
My bed of flame my name
Spread myself round again
Spilled out my guts again
Think I might lay down again
Stitch me up I'm torn again
Follow the pipeline I layed it so deep
It flows out my window it flows out to sea
It curls round the mountain it takes up the slack
Book me the right plane I long to nip back
Set up high above the Pyrenees
Set up high on the road of relief
My lies, my lust, my truth, my trust
My league, my school, my game, my rules,
My bed I've made, my grave
Spread myself round again
Spilled out my guts again
Think I might lay down again
Stitch me up I'm torn again
My eyes, my hips, my face, my lips
Are failing me
Combined with mixed up living
My victory is escaping me
La La La
Cast upon the wind
When it shifted i drifted
without a star to steer by
Fowl weather took me by suprise
I felt the sea begin to rise..
You are my lifeline
When love ripped all my sails with rain,
You saved me from this hurricane,
You are my lifeline
now im sailing toward the island of your love..
Sailing t'ward the island, sailing t'ward the island
sailing t'ward the island of your love (x2)
Hurled upon the reef
No lighthouse, no goodnight house
Upon my broken ship
I found no shelter anywhere
Until i saw your .....
You are my lifeline
When love ripped all my sails with rain,
You saved me from this hurricane,
You are my lifeline
now im sailing toward the island of your love..
Sailing t'ward the island, sailing t'ward the island
One silver streak, and darkness is cut
When lines populate the earth
A clew of chaos, of brand-new souls but
soaked in pleasures and dirt
As the spinning wheel of life decides each fate
And leads life lines to its spools
Where they are beginning to have their downfall created
I am making my own magic tools
The start of the bigger web, the tapestry of life
A world full of kings, beggars, knights and fools
Catching a glimpse of a made up world
It ignites a spark in a heart gone cold
Breaking the thin line wire of an off worldly stare
That was spun, weaved and unravelled, every soul dealt fair
As the spinning wheel of life decides each fate
And all lifelines have left the spools
Then it is spinning, to have new life created
With my own set of magic tools
I am making another web, a tapestry of death
A world full of kings, beggars, knights and fools
Seeing the result, the bigger whole,
The spark dies again, the heart turns cold
unravelling the world of dreams, revealing the reality it stole
I cut the line
We're breaking through and now I'm here
You'd better listen to things and show no tears
On the line, awake to see
Again you've got to capture me to set me free
All the laughter in my brain
All the memories drive me insane
Time to change my thoughts for you
I feel your breath but what can I do?
I stared you right between the eyes
And put your life on the line
I stared you right between the eyes
And lay your body next to mine
Through temptations all around
I make the tears come out of you and let them drop down
You're the victim to stir my pride
I'll try again to find a passage out before I lose my mind
That's all I'll do, that's all you need
Unfinished business, I'll make it complete
You can't take it, it's so unreal
What you deserve and how I feel
I stared you right between the eyes
And put your life on the line
I stared you right between the eyes
And lay your body next to mine
Your desperate tears you cried in vain
Don't fool my friends it's treated all the same
That's what I do, that's what you need
Unfinished business, now made it complete
I stared you right between the eyes
And put your life on the line
I stared you right between the eyes
Get out of Hollywood
Drive into the hills
Rolldown the top
And just throw away your pills
You'll never forget her
So why do you even try?
Things'll get easier
As the days go creeping by
Broke my heart
Saw it coming from the start
I really hate to see the shape i'm in
Broke all the rules
And you know life can be cruel
But i think it's time i learned to swim
Show me
There still can be some mystery
I haven't found
Throw me
A lifeline to the lost at sea
Don't let me drown
And if i had my way
Tell you what i'd do
Drive down to the lake
Before the sky gets blue
Fill up my bottle
With water from the spring
Because i read somewhere that it cures everything
Broke my heart
Saw it coming from the start
I really hate to see the shape i'm in
Broke all the rules
And you know life can be cruel
But i think it's time i learned to swim
Show me
There still can be some mystery
I haven't found
Throw me
A lifeline to the lost at sea
Don't let me drown
Broke my heart
Saw it coming from the start
I really hate to see the shape i'm in
Broke all the rules
And you know life can be cruel
But i think it's time i learned to swim
Show me
There still can be some mystery
I haven't found
Throw me
A lifeline to the lost at sea
Don't let me drown
Show me
A way out of this misery
I haven't found
Throw me
A lifeline to the lost at sea
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Follow the lifeline I labelled so neat
Through every lifetime from scars that run deep
Follow the love tracks unrivalled unmatched
Book me the right train I'd love to nip back
Set up high above the Pyrenees
Set up high on the road of release
My brain, my arms, my chain, my charms
My aims, my itch, my foes, I've licked
My bed of flame my name
Spread myself round again
Spilled out my guts again
Think I might lay down again
Stitch me up I'm torn again
Follow the pipeline I layed it so deep

It curls round the mountain it takes up the slack
Book me the right plane I long to nip back

Stitch me up I'm torn again
My eyes, my hips, my face, my lips
Are failing me
Combined with mixed up living
My victory is escaping me
La La La
The lifeline slips away
you live so far away from me,
fate brought you into my world,
and then one night
your eyes were burning through my soul,
now i can't go home anymore...
that night you lay there beside me,
you whispered softly in my ear,
you said that you would always love and wait for me,
now i can't go home anymore...
send me a lifeline,
send me a lifeline,
send me a lifeline,
send me a lifeline...
in this life we will never find
another love like yours and mine
is there a way that i can show you how i feel?
words aren't on enough anymore...
send me a lifeline,
send me a lifeline,
send me a lifeline,
send me a lifeline...
remember talking on the phone?
you were half a world away...
you promised we would marry,
and i would be your bride.
please don't go back on your word...
send me a lifeline,
send me a lifeline,
send me a lifeline,
Changing her colors she's off to the shore
She rides the soul train and he fight the law
There's a power in his voice and it makes her feel so sure
So live and let live in love
One day he'll build a statue with his hands
So gentle when he tries to understand
This subterfuge he never really planned now you're living
In the lifeline we're moving
In the lifeline we're walking
In the lifeline we're throwing
So live and let live in love
Exchanging their letters their exits begun
With deathless precision he's aiming his gun
A democracy of sorts that justifies the sun
So live and let live in love
Neither has the ghost of a chance
Those decisions only can be made once
You never really know just what you're giving till you're living
In the lifeline we're moving
In the lifeline we're walking
In the lifeline we're throwing
So live and let live in love
He could have built a statue with his hands
So gentle when he tries to understand
You never really know just what you're giving now you're living
In the lifeline we're moving
In the lifeline we're walking
In the lifeline we're throwing to you
But I'm not living
(So live and let live in love)
Lifeline
In the lifeline
In the lifeline
(So live and let live in love)
Lifeline
In the lifeline
In the lifeline
(So live and let live in love)
Freeze frame on me
Mmm, can you read it on my face?
Data mining from old memories
Sunflowers and a smile catching
Mmm, welcoming a heartbeat to the family
Light tie lanterns, wish bound in the night
Who? What? When?
All in one stir of a teaspoon
I'm shaken and gasping for air
Lifeline, before and after
In an instant of great white gravity
Hold tight, 'cause all is against me
Every cell in my body, brace,
And keep breathing,
Keep breathing
Gracious future,
Mmm, won't you lend a hand to pull me through?
'Cause me and you've got some things we need to see to
Adventures in the multiverse
Effervescent candlelit closeness
Plus, I feel like I've just got the hang of this living thing
Who? What? When?
All in one stir of a teaspoon
I'm shaken and gasping for air, air, air, air
I will, on one day,
And sometime, in some place,
I've still got some go in me yet
Lifeline, before and after
In an instant of great white gravity
Hold tight, 'cause all is against me
Every cell in my body, brace
Rise high, cling to the laughters
For that moment of broken tragedy
Bright-eyed, the world is against me
Every cell in my body, brace,
And keep breathing,
Keep breathing,
Still breathing
My bones stay strong,
My days, still long,
My heart has many heartbeats,
And home is where love is
Lifeline, before and after
In an instant of great white gravity
Hold tight, 'cause all is against me
Every cell in my body, brace
Rise high, cling to the laughters
For that moment of broken tragedy
Bright-eyed, the world is against me
Every cell in my body, brace,
And keep breathing
Keep breathing
Keep breathing
Keep breathing
Keep breathing
With an urgent, careful stare,
And some panic in those eyes
If I see you lying there,
Hoping this was the last time
If you hear a distant sound,
And see footsteps by your side.
When the world comes crashing down.
I will find you if you hide.
If you wish it, wish it now.
If you wish it, wish it loud.
If you want it, say it now.
If you want it, say it loud.
We all make mistakes.
Here's your lifeline.
If you want it, I want to.
We all make mistakes.
Here's your lifeline.
If you want to I want to
There's a field with a dream.
I watched it grow with whitest light.
I watched us all reach out and lean.
For the strength to touch the sky.
If you hear a distant sound.
And some footsteps by your side.
If you feel like comin' round.
I will take you for a ride.
If you wish it, wish it now.
If you wish it, wish it loud.
If you want it, say it now.
If you want it, say it loud.
We all make mistakes.
Here's your lifeline.
If you want it, I want to.
We all make mistakes.
Here's your lifeline.
When you're so long gone, you can't help yourself
When you're so dead wrong
Let alone no one else
Well the children still dying in the streets
The babies still living with disease
The cops got guns, the poor folks got sons
Who work for Mr. Franklin every week
If you've come looking for hard times
Hard times ain't hard to find
Cause we've been given that lifeline
Only once in a lifetime
Baby we were born
Maybe we were born
To be sure ... to endure
When the storm comes
Got them sad eyes
Got them cat eyes
Got your angels tired
From saving your life
So you would be best
To contain yourself
Before you end up killed
His bare feet
Touch her bare feet
The air breaths sweet
At the mountains peak
And I forgot
What the wise man said
About that ancient thread
Baby we were born
Maybe we were born
To be sure ... to rejoice
A fire burns
In your eye
You gasp, you suck
The line of life
Relentless
Relentless confusion
Day after day
In the shadow
An angel cries
Hearts and minds
Torn by lies
Tormented conscience
Buried by weight
Innocence confused
By hate
Walking
Walking in silence
A ceremony
Of false ideals
The anguish and deceit
Hard reality
Begins to set in
A hostile state
".inflicted heavy losses"
"There were no survivors"
A steadfast dream
Creates blindness
The wound inside
Runs deep
until this big revue
i thought i'd figured out
no release from the pressure
growing strong
confirmation from outside is a luxury
but without i have to dig for the reasons
found to live inject my life with meaning
suffering from pains
i needed a cure placed my attention
in what could make a difference
in my life all i wished for before
was a reason to go on
found in a tune hollow existence
a grim prospect secured a distance
and without i'm nothing
sometimes i picture a life
a picture i can't have denied
it with this therapy
i use to define identity
what's lost in me
to where i realize has how been refined
security's no option
invested all i had against recourse
accepted rejection by decisions
to ignore average life
i was always so sure
that the answer lay beyond the prescribed path
refused admission to my escape
provided the stage
Here I am drowning in
A sea of my own choices
Holding to hope by a thread (Yeah)
I'm looking 'round, I'm calling out
Fear pulls me down
When the waters rush over my head
Chorus:
You are my lifeline
You are my rescue
Strength in my weakness
Light in my darkness
You are my safety
Lifter of my head
The air that I need when I can't seem to breathe in
You are my lifeline
You are my lifeline
How many times, how many turns
Will it take 'till I learn
You reach for me in my need (Yeah)
And when I cry I know that I'll
Faithfully find you
When life comes crashing on me
Chorus:
You are my lifeline
You are my rescue
Strength in my weakness
Light in my darkness
You are my safety
Lifter of my head
The air that I need when I can't seem to breathe in
You are my lifeline
You are my lifeline
You're there in my brokenness, in my distress
My rock when I'm strong or when I'm powerless
You hold me in rushing tides when waters rise
And I'll always find
Chorus:
You are my lifeline
You are my rescue
Strength in my weakness
Light in my darkness
You are my safety
Lifter of my head
The air that I need when I can't seem to breathe in
(Repeat once)
You are my lifeline
You are my lifeline
You are my lifeline
Close my eyes you make me wait
Hold my breath you choose my fate
Every time I start to care
Open up my eyes but you're not there
Get me thinkin there's a chance
Thoughts like these are dangerous
Been through this a thousand times
But here I am again that's all right
I'll be fine
Just a little bit of your lifeline
I see your future
Do you see mine
Am I a part of it
Just a little bit would be all right
Perfect in the strangest way
Standing still in disarray
When I see this light within you
I wanna step inside and feel it shine with you
Just a little bit of your lifeline
I see your future
Do you see mine
Am I a part of it
Just a little bit would be all right
I fell in tomorrow
And you there dancing all alone
If I'm dreaming just let me keep on sleeping
Wake me up when you decide
Will I see you've opened up my eyes
Just a little bit of your lifeline
I see your future
Do you see mine
Am I a part of it
Just a little bit
Just a little bit of your lifeline
you’re watching everything you ever held on to
slip away from you
and all you’re running from well it’s catching up to you
got you looking for a lifeline
swimming in the high tide
waiting for the daylight
to bring you home
the world is too big to never ask why
the answers don’t fall straight out of the sky
i’m fighting to live and feel alive
but i can’t feel a thing without you by my side
send me out a lifeline
you’re watching everyone you ever belonged to
walk away from you
maybe all along you’ve been running from the truth
got you looking for a lifeline
you’re swimming in the high tide
waiting for the daylight
to bring you home
there’s nothing i would change, i’d give it all away
for you again and again and over again
everything i own is in your control
i’m looking for a lifeline
swimming in the high tide
waiting for the daylight
to bring me home
New York To California
under the tv lights you fell asleep again
don’t know i’m writing this song about you
there’s a picture of a hollywood sign reflecting off your skin
i don’t wanna live another day without you
you woke up and said baby i
had one of those dreams again
the rain came down and i lost you
in the wind
you said something about don’t leave
before you fell back asleep
before i could sing my song back to ya
that you could find yourself lost out in this world
and i’d find a way to get back to your side
no mountain is too high, no stone is too small
i’d build a bridge through the fire
for you i would crawl
from new york to california
i can hear you softly breathe
oh what you do to me
if baby i could climb down into your dreams
i’d build a ladder down through the clouds
where the storm is raging
now i don’t wanna sing another song without ya
if you found yourself lost out in this world
then i’d find a way to get back to your side
no mountain is too high, no stone is too small
i’d build a bridge through the fire
for you i would crawl
from new york to california
la la la la la la
oh oh it’s not too far
la la la la la la
oh oh to where you are
‘cause you could find yourself lost out in this world
and i’d find a way to get back to your side
if you find yourself lost out in this world
then i’d find a way to get back to your side
no mountain is too high, no stone is too small
i’d build a bridge through the fire
for you i would crawl
You can find a way
To stop thinking about it
When every minute is a lifetime
The pain will go away
You won't believe but it's true
Just count the inches on your lifeline
And I hate to be the one
Telling you that everything's ok
Cause what kind of god would give you life
And take it all away?
Oh but I don't want to be in your life
If you don't
And I don't want to wake in your arms
If you won't
Be alive when I need you the most
Not to say that I won't
Grieve a little when you pass away
When you pass away
You can find a place
And start thinking about it
When every second is the right time
The pain will go away
You won't believe but it's true
Just count the inches on your lifeline
And I hate to be the one
Telling you that everything's ok
Cause what kind of god would give you life
And take it all away?
Oh but I don't want to be in your life
If you don't
And I don't want to wake in your arms
If you won't
Tell me everything you needed to be
Is everything that I am
Everything that you fear
About me
What you fear about me
You'll come back for all the wrong reasons
Maybe your life was out of season
You can't breathe
When you don't have a reason to die
And someday soon when the memory has faded
We'll defend all the lives we once hated
And I'll be there baby glad that you made it alive
I don't want to be in your life
I have this sinking feeling
Something's weighing me down
I am completely saturated
The waves are crashing closer
My feet already drowned
Doing the thing I said I hated
They've been swimming in the wrong water
Now they're pulling me down
But I am clinging to you, never letting go
'Cos I know that you'll lift me out
[Chorus]
Have your way here
Keep me afloat 'cos I know I'll sink without you
Take this ocean of pain that is mine
Throw me a lifeline
Wake up feeling convicted
I know something's not right
Re-acquaint my knees with the carpet
I have to get this out
'Cos it's obstructing you and I
Dry up the seas that keep us parted
'Cos they've been swimming in the wrong waters
And now they're pulling me down
But I am clinging to you, never letting go
'Cos I know that you are gonna pull me out
[Chorus]
They've been swimming in the wrong waters
And now they're pulling me down
But I am clinging to you, never letting go
'Cos I know, 'cos I know
broken... shattered
memories on the ground
splinters... scattered
lost and never found
your eyes search for me - but i look away
your mouth speaks to me - but i won't hear the words you say
bring it back... BACK
the time is gone - the chance is over
didn't know the right words to say
it's like you threw me in a lifeline
but i chose to walk away
i wish... i would... have took it earlier
now i'm reaching for something out of sight
it feels like something in me died...
impossible - another start
to mend the bridge i decided to blow apart
A) ...IMPOSSIBLE
B) ...IMPOSSIBLE TO
BRING IT BACK... BACK!!!
I don't want to question anything
I don't feel that it needs attention
Let's fear fear (x3)
Let's bring it near
I can see through your eyes
They're so clear
Through your eyes I feel it
Your naked fear
Let's fear fear (x3)
Let's bring it near
Let it go
Then you won't follow
Them at all anymore
What you need is not what you are
So let it go and follow yourself
I don't want to question anything
I don't feel that it needs attention
Let's feel fear (x3)
Let's bring it near
Let it go
Then you won't follow
Them at all anymore
What you need is not what you are
It has started somehow
Cross words yelled,
Friendship felled,
And two planets at war now.
Single minded missiles fly,
Streaking past, Earthbound,
And no one really knows why;
No one really knows just why...
Lifeline, lifeline.
Drowning in dreams.
Throw me your heartline
Hold me in your arms
And stop these horror trips;
Your lips erase my visions of apocalypse.
Cry out for mankind
Suddenly lost.
Global holocaust.
Thought it may be
Only in my mind.
Single minded missiles fly,
Streaking past, Earthbound,
And no one really just knows why...
Lifeline, lifeline.
Drowning in dreams.
Throw me your heartline
Hold me in your arms
And stop these horror trips;
Your lips erase my visions of apocalypse.
Through star studded skies
Steel rain drops fall
In fiery balls
And tears fill my eyes.
Lifeline, lifeline.
Drowning in dreams.
Throw me your heartline
Hold me in your arms
And stop these horror trips;
Your lips erase my visions of apocalypse.
Lifeline, lifeline, lifeline.
Throw me your heartline.
Lifeline, oh, lifeline, lifeline.
Throw me your heartline.
Lifeline, oh, lifeline, lifeline.
Consider your destiny
You threw all those chances away
Now you're clutching at too many straws
And waiting for fortune to play
When you reached out your hand
There was nobody there
To protect and reassure you
Now the curtains are closed to the past
But the future is open to you.
Watching the wheels go round
Watching the ship go down
Somebody throw her a line
She'll make the next move ....
Treading the tightrope of fate
As incidents throw you of course
She remembers the power and the strength
of this, the invincible force
When you wish for too much.
You get nothing at all
When you waited you got your reward
When you ask for too much
You get nothing at all
Close my eyes, you make me wait
Hold my breath, you choose my fate
Every time I start to care
Open up my eyes but you're not there
Get me thinkin' there's a chance
Thoughts like these are dangerous
Been through this a thousand times
But here I am again that's all right
I'll be fine
Just a little bit of your lifeline
I see your future
Do you see mine
Am I a part of it
Just a little bit would be all right
Perfect in the strangest way
Standing still in disarray
When I see this light within you
I wanna step inside and feel it shine with you
Just a little bit of your lifeline
I see your future
Do you see mine
Am I a part of it
Just a little bit would be all right
I fell in tomorrow
And you there dancing all alone
If I'm dreaming just let me keep on sleeping
Wake me up when you decide
Will I see you've opened up my eyes
Just a little bit of your lifeline
I see your future
Do you see mine
Am I a part of it
Just a little bit
[Verse 1]
I never got a yo when my pockets were low
But now I'm makin' dough it's all hello, hello
Since I got to dunkin' these motherfuckers I be duckin'
Callin' me on my beeper they ain't really dumb or nothin'
All up on my jock lookin' for nuts for the lickin'
Havin' such an ass, the nearest one I'm kissin'
All up on my diznick and all up in my business
So drop ya panties before ya want to give me kisses
I keep em' yes I keep em' reminiscin'
Thinkin' about my thoughts and I get with em'
Just because I'm makin' money my neighbors never blink
So happy birthday mom, ya gift is not a clock but a mink
Father was a trip, always steady trippin'
Basically cause my eyes were always red from smokin' up on spliffin'
Said I want to out the jack, can bum up in his plumbers house
But he sung a different tune when he heard about my bank account
I guess I'll be OK, I'm really not the guilty
The null is not to follow which they is filthy
Been tokin' marijuana smokin forty ounce
I never was a hoodlum but I must admit I knew em'
Forget where I came from, I know I'm always stankin'
And removin' the junkie hookers
That was givin' me up to Spinky on the lifeline
[Verse 2]
Talkin' about back in the days of my grade school years
I used to be a wild child smokin' blunts drinkin' beers
Up against, on the ends it's sticky gum on the seats
Shootin' spitballs and cause crazy fights every week
I was the complete rascal, Dennis the Menace
I there was any trouble goin' down best believe I was in it
suspension and detention became the normal activity
Teachers callin' mom cause they couldn't deal with me
And my behavior, even the next door neighbor gave up
Advice, on how to chastise me right
Sayin' whoop his ass, give him a beat and a whiplash
And that'll put an end to ya problem Mrs. Gash
Mom took heed and on the body got frame
But did it help, nope just caused more brain damage
Course the same way, the next day I was at it again
From terrorizin' the halls to cuttin' classes with my man
But my educational span was spectacular
I'm just a jerk to do my cause most Polly want to cracker
And I ain't a actor like the one with true identity
So wait, that's cool cause it wasn't for me
See I knew I could never be like Doogie Howser
So after eleventh grade I was outtie five thousand
On my lifeline
[Verse 3]
When I got mid-teenage, I started the rage with rough ones
Known as the Run-Out Crew and go snatchin' thugs
Pullin' plugs on suckers and it's on every corner
My grandma tried to school me said son your a goner
But I don't listen I was like stop breakin' my balls
Threw up my hands and gave 50 Grand a call
I told him to put me down cause the sacks pay a lot
Now I'm throwin' rocks, dodgin' cops and goin' out like pops
Daddy cool cause he went to school for an education
He found the nation but he still found his self facin'
Time in the ghetto and communities
And that pledge allegiance to the falg shit ain't foolin' me
He heard my story he put me down like folks
And they was on they way to Arizona loc
He droppin' the keys, makin' these G's, that's what I need
But someone else could drop off threes, I got freeze
[Verse 4]
Lifeless cat can he help us with each other
He's my partner, he's my cop, he's my buddy
I'm the mack oh yes a frame, yes a frame oh yes I am
What a brother gotta do to make em' chill
Damn, at the club smokin' pot, chillin' in the parking lot
Drinkin' forties talkin' shit and what not
There was a guy and a girl K-S-L called em'
Said they tried to start beef send to the butchers
Didn't know that he had guns, we heard buckshots and bullets
My eyes had to lie as we jumped through the bushes
Had to say thanks, thank God we got away
Saw the fool by himself the very next day
Now should K-S-L leave em' alone or should I let my lips whistle
He's a stupid motherfucker with a pistol
As for the dude he wasn't scared
Until I held a pistol to his head
He started to cry, K-S-L put it down do not lie
Trapped in myself
I was blinded by a fool
I am breaking my own rule
in the heat of the day
Follow my heart
There is someone to be found
Somewhere around
but my fortune has failed
my fortune has failed
And I´m burning out
Watch me dying while I´m running out of time
I am the fool I see, inside my painful memory
Watch my lifeline shift backwards while I´m trying
In present history no distance will save me
Make up my mind
And I haven`t any clue
See everything I`ve done
from a dark point of view
The past is now
For awareness for myself
I am on the shelf
cause my fortune has failed
And I´m burning out
Watch me dying while I´m running out of time
I am the fool I see, inside my painful memory
Watch my lifeline shift backwards while I´m trying
In present history no distance will save me
Watch me dying while I´m running out of time
I am the fool I see, inside my painful memory
Watch my lifeline shift backwards while I´m trying
I’ll save you tonight and make everything right,
Gonna get you away when everyone’s the same.
Whatever you want, you need, you got, I’ll find,
You’re down and now…
Uh oh,
Talk to me,
It’s like the movies,
And I’m the guy you meet…
Uh oh,
At the end,
Come through when,
You look before you leap.
You see,
It’s Me,
You need.
I’ll save you tonight and make everything right,
Gonna get you away when everyone’s the same.
Whatever you want, you need, you got, I’ll find,
You’re down and now,
I’ll throw you a lifeline.
I’ll throw you a lifeline.
Uh oh,
Keep it simple,
Live a little,
Try not to be sad.
Uh oh,
You’re the best thing,
I’m just saying,
I’m really not that bad,
To have,
Around,
For now.
I’ll save you tonight and make everything right,
Gonna get you away when everyone’s the same.
Whatever you want, you need, you got, I’ll find,
You’re down and now,
I’ll throw you a lifeline.
I’ll throw you a lifeline.
I’ll save you tonight and make everything right,
Gonna get you away when everyone’s the same.
Whatever you want, you need, you got, I’ll find,
You’re down and now,
I’ll throw you a 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
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
Living with an erosion of hopeMy heart is trying to
cope
Without you I might lose touch with everything I know
Inside me, silently is leaning on you thankfully
You're more than a trusted friend
We're the universe that never ends
Of my heart, you're the beat
Of their lies, you're what's real
Of my eyes what I see
You're the faith I believe
And when the wall's falling down
I'll be there just turn around
Remain strong, just hang on, long as you throw me a
lifeline
And as the stars there remain
I'll be the blood in your veins
Nothing's wrong, run along,
long as you throw me a lifeline
Treading in a water of blackness
I've always got your back, More than just a test
We are blessed with a bond that never breaks
So this world will shake and roar
Fear the night now nevermore
We will never break but bend
It's the fortress I defend
Of defeat, you're my fight,
Of my black, you're the white
Of my yin, you're the yang
With this bond, I can hang
And when the wall's falling down
I'll be there just turn around
Remain strong, run along,
long as you throw me a lifeline
And as the stars there remain
I'll be the blood in your veins
Nothing's wrong, run along,
long as you throw me a lifeline
And when you feel you're giving up and given in to life
Wait for me, wait for me now
Of our trials, we transcend
Of my doubts, we ascend
Of my soul's mysteries
We own our history
And when the wall's falling down
I'll be there just turn around
Remain strong, just hang on,
long as you throw me a lifeline
And as the stars there remain
I'll be the blood in your veins
Nothing's wrong, run along, long as you throw me a
lifeline
Just as long as you throw me a lifeline
Just as long as you throw me a lifeline
Just as long as you throw me a lifeline
Just as long as you throw me a lifeline
All my life I've seen such strife
I've never believed my heart conceived
of a love so strong, our bond all along
Got my heart on an island
Far away, out of reach
Didn't believe in relying
On anyone else but me
Till the day that I saw you
In my harbor of love beckoning
It made me wanna go out and swim out
Place my fear of the storm at sea
Baby, throw out your lifeline
I'm sinking, baby, rescue me
I'm beggin' you, throw out your lifeline
Shipwrecked with emotion
When you rock the ocean in me
I met you when it was sunny
What about when it rained
It's not all milk and honey
I'm used to feeling the pain
My mind says run for shelter
My heart has too much to gain
By trusting your loving
Knowing how the weather can change
Baby, throw out your lifeline
I'm sinking, baby, rescue me
I'm beggin' you, throw out your lifeline
Shipwrecked with emotion
When you rock the ocean
Throw your lifeline out
And I'll hang on
Be the chain of love
That keeps us growing strong
Baby, throw out your lifeline
I'm sinking, baby, rescue me
I'm beggin' you, throw out your lifeline
Baby, throw out your lifeline
I'm sinking, baby, rescue me
I'm beggin' you, throw out your lifeline
Shipwrecked with emotion
When you rock the ocean
Baby, throw out your lifeline
Throw out your lifeline
I'm telling you now give it to me, baby
Shipwrecked with emotion
When you rock the ocean
Baby, throw out your lifeline
I'm sinking, baby, rescue me
I'm beggin' you, throw out your lifeline
Shipwrecked with emotion
When you rock the ocean
Baby, throw out your lifeline
I'm sinking, baby, rescue me
I'm beggin' you, throw out your lifeline
Shipwrecked with emotion
When you rock the ocean
Throw out your lifeline
I'm sinking, baby, rescue me
I'm beggin' you, throw out your lifeline
Shipwrecked with emotion
