“Lifetimes” appears to be about living in the public eye during her time dating Lance Armstrong. Although she feels trapped, Sheryl comes out stronger on the other side of these hardships.
[Verse 1]
Take off your halo
Take off your golden crown
The spotlight's off, the shades are down
Well, where are your friends now?
They're ghosts in a windowpane
Sometimes it's hard to stay the same
[Chorus]
And we can live lifetimes in a single day
No matter what you do, I love you anyway
You say if you're lost inside, well, I get lonely too
Even in the worst of times, I give my best to you
[Verse 2]
I dreamed I was swimming, fighting the undertow
Driftin' in circles, no place to go
And when I woke up, I was wringing wet
So much stronger than before
[Chorus]
And we can live lifetimes in a single day
No matter what you do, I love you anyway
You say if you're lost inside, well, I get lonely too
Even in the worst of times, I give my best to you
[Bridge]
The words escape
The silence made
The looks betray
I'm not afraid at all
At all
[Chorus]
And we can live lifetimes in a single day
No matter what you do, I love you anyway
You say if you're lost inside, well, I get lonely too
Even in the worst of times, I give my best to you
Even in the worst of times, I give my best to you
