Lifeline

[Verse 1]
These feel like end times
I'm seeing strange signs
We're crossing hard lines and we ain't never crossing back
Stuck here in a cycle of non-stop news
Stagger 'round like children who have been abused
Keeping it together with our pills and booze
All history can tell us is when we're born to lose

[Chorus]
Throw me a lifeline, baby
I'm a desperate man
Got to hold on to each other
These are hard times, baby
Got to do what we can
One way or another
I want to make it with you
I want to make it with you

[Verse 2]
There ain't no new rhymes
There ain't no new pick-up lines
So let's have a good time
Everything's been said before
I used to wake up in my clothes
Now I wander the streets
And it's only love that I feel complete
You know the love of the desperate always tastes so sweet
But forget about that, baby
I'm just glad we could meet

[Chorus]
Throw me a lifeline, baby
I'm a desperate man
Got to hold on to each other
These are hard times, baby
Got to do what we can
One way or another

[Post-Chorus]
Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline

[Bridge]
I used to wake up in my clothes, now I wander the streets
(Throw me a lifeline)
Now you know much more about me than I wish you would know
I try to keep my shit together but I lose all control
(Throw me a lifeline)
But I lose all control, I lose all control

[Chorus]
Throw me a lifeline, baby
I'm a desperate man
Got to hold on to each other
Yeah, these are hard times, baby
Got to do what we can
One way or another
Throw me a lifeline, baby
I'm a desperate man
Got to hold on to each other
Yeah, these are hard times, baby
Got to do what we can
One way or another
I want to make it with you
Hmm, I want to make it with you
