The song progression:



Intro:

Vers 1:



 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?



Chorus:

I don't want to wait a lifetime

Yours or mine, yours or mine

Can't you see me reaching for the lifeline?



Vers:

You say that I misheard you

 but I think you misspoke

I hear you laugh so loudly

while I patiently await the joke



Chorus:

I don't want to wait a lifetime

Yours or mine, yours or mine

Can't you see me reaching for the lifeline?

The lifeline, the lifeline



Break (instrumental):



Vers:

It's a crime with only victims

We're all laid out in a row

It's hardest to listen

to what we already should know



Final Chorus:



I could hold out for a lifetime

Yours or mine, yours or mine

Can't you see me reaching for your lifeline?

The lifeline, your lifeline, the lifeline
