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
