Lifeline lyrics

They'll look you in the eyes and stone you,
Then turn and disown you,
Don't you let them take the fight outta you,
They'll walk all over your name 'til they find someone else to blame,
Don't let them take the fight outta you,

Secrets hide their lies inside hidden alibis,
Don't let them take the fight outta you
They put the world on a hook, it's worse every time I look

It's late and I can't sleep
I've made promises that I can't keep
Cobblestones and broken bones, has a kingdom but he's got no home
Last night is still ringing in my head like that lonesome whistle in the rain

I'm a fool for a lonesome train
I'm a fool for a lonesome train

The lifetime we've left behind with strangers
Promises and lies both have their dangers

I heard a street singer play a song I knew
It brought me closer to you
I heard a street singer play a song I call my own
It brought me to my childhood home

Did you go back from where you came?
If I get there, will they have my name?
If they don't, I'll only have myself to blame
For all these things, true happiness is having wings

Life is a blurry-eyed, heavy-hearted whirlwind of a storm

I've heard all of your parting lines
Can only say goodbye so many times
Before you know you have nothing to show for your pain
Sorry is a word you just can't seem to find
Does it ever enter your mind?
I am in doubt that you are about to change

Now if your heart, your heart isn't in it
If your heart, your heart isn't it it
If you have nothing left to give, won't you go on and let me live again?

When your whole world is shaken from all the risks we have taken
Dance with me, dance with me into the colors of the dusk

When you have awoken from all the dreams broken
Come and dance with me, dance with me into the colors of the dusk
Dance with me in the colors of the dusk

The paths we're walking on, they crumble behind us
But if we leave now, they will never find us

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

My every breath is a prayer for you
You know I'm waiting there for you
I'd rather learn to live with you and suffer
Than to see you in the arms of another

But now my heart aches a little
Now my heart breaks a little
I lie awake in the middle of a cold, empty room with one light
I needed you tonight

I am not your tool or your born-again fool
I'm not in the mood to serenade sorrow

She eats nectarines with honey and spends her daddy's money so easy
She cuts cherry pie while she looks you in the eye so easy
The innocent naivety of hairless cheek
The politics of generosity make me weak

You put it on me then left me lonely
You put it on me, you put it on me

There's an assassin out to get me and they claim that she's never missed

Baby, say it's all right if it takes all night
We won't have to be alone if you say you will
If you say you will, if you say you will

Like Marie Antoinette said to Louis XVI, "Man, I think we're going down.
Our chances are slim and none, and I'm afraid slim just left town."

Say you will, darling, won't you say you will?
Won't you say you will? Darling, won't you say that you will?

You and I were looking at old pictures yesterday,
Sitting in disbelief at how time slips away,
Both at a loss for words to say,
Who knew we'd never be younger than today?

Foolishness protected us from the world outside,
They could never come between us but we knew they'd try,
We remembered living as if there were a way to forever
Be younger than today
