Lifeline
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Get out of Hollywood drive into the hills
Roll down the top and then just throw away your pills
You'll never forget her so why do you even try
Things will get easier as the days go creaking by
Broke my heart, I saw it coming from the start
I really hate to see the shape I'm in
Broke all the rules and you know life can be cruel but
I think it's time I learned to swim
Show me there still can be some mystery
I haven't found
Throw me a lifeline to the lost at sea
Don't let me drown
And if I had my way I tell you what I'd do
I'd drive down to the lake before the sky gets blue
Fill up my bottle from water from the spring
'Cause I read somewhere that it cures everything
Broke my heart, I saw it coming from the start
I really hate to see the shape I'm in
Broke all the rules and you know life can be cruel but
I think it's time I learned to swim
Show me there still can be some mystery
I haven't found
Throw me a lifeline to the lost at sea
Don't let me drown
Broke my heart, I saw it coming from the start
I really hate to see the shape I'm in
Broke all the rules and you know life can be cruel but
I think it's time I learned to swim
Show me there still can be some mystery…..
Show me a way out of this misery…..
