Lifeline

You like to live life in the fast lane
Where nobody can tell you
Where to run to

And you like to crash
Where the lights no longer flash
And they can't find you
So far behind you

But what will you do
When your brakes give out
And your gas runs low
And your maps reroute
What will you do when you can't find your way home?

What will you do when your boat capsizes?
Lifeboats sink and the high tide rises?
Where will you go when you're out there on your own?

Let me throw you a lifeline
Let me throw you a lifeline
Let me throw you a lifeline
Let me throw you a lifeline
Lifeline, lifeline

You like to live life in the fast lane
On the right track on the wrong train
On the left side of the right brain
And on the outside of the insane

And I can't keep on chasing you
No I can't keep on chasing you

But what will you do
When your lungs give out
And you scream her name
And she's not around?
What will you do when you can't find your way home?

What will you do
When your heart rate rises?
Give it all up just to feel alive
It's all we can do just to make it on our own

So let me throw you a lifeline
Let me throw you a lifeline
Let me throw you a lifeline
Let me throw you a lifeline
Lifeline, lifeline

And every sign tells you to turn right back
But you trust your mind
And it's stuck in this race track
And every time you try to turn it around...

They're catching up to you
They're catching up to you
They're catching up to you
They're catching up to you

I could throw you a lifeline
I could throw you a lifeline
I could throw you a lifeline
I could throw you a lifeline
If you'd just let me try
