Lifeline

[Verse 1]
All this time, I've been drawing your lifeline
As I held your hand in mine
I've been smoothing out our troubles
While my own I left behind

[Verse 2]
All this time, I've been painting our portrait
But I can't seem to make it shine
The angle doesn't seem to matter
Perhaps the problem's with the light

[Bridge]
It's taking so long
And it's gonna take a little more
Please prove me wrong
Is it gonna take a little more?

[Verse 3]
Ooh, in time, I will whisper speaks of gladness
Sweet release and the smiles
I'll be carrying your laughter
Like a favorite work of art

[Outro]
Ooh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
