Lifeline Lyrics

Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals 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
Your life
