Lifeline

What I miss, what I miss most
Is the devil in your eyes and the angel in your soul
And I want just to know you're well
That the angel hasn't left, that the devil's raising hell

Five years is a long time, someone becomes your lifeline
They pick you up and make you shine, save you when you're sinking

Oh, this is what we do
You save me and I save you
Lose ourselves and need to be rescued
No matter how hard it gets
Even if it leaves us fighting for breath
Love is strong enough to pull us from the darkness

When all my drifting ends, maybe I'll find love again
But it will never feel the same - even if I pretend
'Cause your voice still echoes in my head
Louder than my heartbeat, every word you said

Five years is a long time, someone becomes your lifeline
They find you in the nick of time just as you stop believing

Now everything's a shade of grey
And all my strength has drained away
I'm just a man who's overboard
And no one's there to hear me calling

Oh, this is what we do
You save me and I save you
Lose ourselves and need to be rescued
No matter how hard it gets
Or even if it leaves us fighting for breath
Love is strong enough to pull us from the darkness

And I need your lifeline now
I need your lifeline now
I need your lifeline now
