Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Watching everything you ever held onto
Slip away from you
All you're running from
Well, it's catching up to you
Got you looking for a lifeline
Swimming in the high tide
Waiting for the day light
To bring you home
[Verse 2]
The world is too big to never ask why
The answers don't fall straight out of the sky
I'm fighting to live and feel alive
But I can't feel a thing without you by my side
Send me out a lifeline
[Verse 3]
You're watching everyone you ever belonged to
Walk away from you
Maybe all along, you've been running from the truth
Got you looking for a lifeline
You're swimming in the high tide
Waiting for the day light
To bring you home
Ooh
[Verse 4]
The world is too big to never ask why
The answers don't fall straight out of the sky
I'm fighting to live and feel alive
But I can't feel a thing without you by my side
Send me out a lifeline
[Verse 5]
There's nothing I would change
I'd give it all away
For you again and again
And over again
Everything I own is in your control
[Verse 6]
Got you looking for a lifeline
Swimming in the high tide
Waiting for the day light
To bring you home
[Verse 7]
You'll see
The world is too big to never ask why
The answers don't fall straight out of the sky
I'm fighting to live and feel alive
But I can't feel a thing without you by my side
Send me out a lifeline
[Verse 8]
Won't you send me out a lifeline?
Send me out a lifeline
