reaching for the 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? 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 (Ben Harper, Lifeline, 2007)
