Lifelines Lyrics

John Mayer Lifelines

I saw you sleeping on the couch tonight
You know it serves you right
Makes you luckier than I
All the colors in the room have changed
The painting yesterday
Brother, I've discovered you
  
We're pushing on
We're passing through
And it won't be long until I walk with you
Tonight I'm down, I'm inside out
Staring at the pictures in the album you forgot about
  
Isn't it a shame?
Times have changed
But isn't it strange?
Lifelines stay the same, the same
  
We're never where we wanna be
That's ok with me
"It's just the way it is" we say
It feels like make believe
But you're my history
Brother, I've rediscovered you 

We're pushing on
We're passing through
And it won't be long until I walk with you
Tonight I'm down, I'm inside out
Staring at the pictures in the album you forgot about
  
Isn't it a shame?
Times have changed
But isn't it strange?
Lifelines stay the same

Round and round
Can't believe my heart is waiting this long
All along we've been children 
In a cold world where wonder was lost everyday
If love was a compass
Oh, I've lost my way
