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
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
not yours
not mine
can't you see me reaching
for the lifeline

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
