Mat Kearney - Lifeline lyrics

rate me

you’re watching everything you ever held on to

slip away from you

and all you’re running from well it’s catching up to you

got you looking for a lifeline

swimming in the high tide

waiting for the daylight

to bring you home

the world is too big to never ask why

the answers don’t fall straight out of the sky

i’m fighting to live and feel alive

but i can’t feel a thing without you by my side

send me out a lifeline

you’re watching everyone you ever belonged to

walk away from you

maybe all along you’ve been running from the truth

got you looking for a lifeline

you’re swimming in the high tide

waiting for the daylight

to bring you home

there’s nothing i would change, i’d give it all away

for you again and again and over again

everything i own is in your control

i’m looking for a lifeline

swimming in the high tide

waiting for the daylight

to bring me home

New York To California

under the tv lights you fell asleep again

don’t know i’m writing this song about you

there’s a picture of a hollywood sign reflecting off your skin

i don’t wanna live another day without you

you woke up and said baby i

had one of those dreams again

the rain came down and i lost you

in the wind

you said something about don’t leave

before you fell back asleep

before i could sing my song back to ya

that you could find yourself lost out in this world

and i’d find a way to get back to your side

no mountain is too high, no stone is too small

i’d build a bridge through the fire

for you i would crawl

from new york to california

i can hear you softly breathe

oh what you do to me

if baby i could climb down into your dreams

i’d build a ladder down through the clouds

where the storm is raging

now i don’t wanna sing another song without ya

if you found yourself lost out in this world

then i’d find a way to get back to your side

no mountain is too high, no stone is too small

i’d build a bridge through the fire

for you i would crawl

from new york to california

la la la la la la

oh oh it’s not too far

la la la la la la

oh oh to where you are

‘cause you could find yourself lost out in this world

and i’d find a way to get back to your side

if you find yourself lost out in this world

then i’d find a way to get back to your side

no mountain is too high, no stone is too small

i’d build a bridge through the fire

for you i would crawl

from new york to California
