[Verse 1]
Night at the window
City in my coffee cup
Shaking in the kitchen light
Hands can’t hold the memories up
You said you’d call in the morning
Morning never showed
Now every silence
Cuts straight through the bone
[Pre-Chorus]
I trace your name
On the cracked screen glow
Every letter
Tastes like letting go
[Chorus]
You were my lifeline
Pulled me from the deep
From the deep
Now I’m on the fault line
Listening for you in my sleep
If I go under
Would you even feel the tide
You were my lifeline
Now I’m drifting unsupplied (oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
Your coat on the hanger
Keeps turning like it might speak
Dust on your records
Spinning in my head all week
I breathe in your sweater
Just to feel you near
Love’s a fading picture
Pinned up by a single tear
[Pre-Chorus]
I call your phone
Just to hear it ring
Every silence
Is its own cruel sting
[Chorus]
You were my lifeline
Pulled me from the deep
From the deep
Now I’m on the fault line
Listening for you in my sleep
If I go under
Would you even feel the tide
You were my lifeline
Now I’m drifting unsupplied (yeah)
[Bridge]
Come back
Come back
I’ll trade every promise I broke
For one touch
One word
One fragile joke
I’m begging the dark
Like it’s you at my door
I swear I’ll be better
Just don’t be “never” anymore (oh)
[Chorus]
You were my lifeline
Pulled me from the deep
From the deep
Now I’m on the fault line
Screaming but I barely speak
If I go under
Would you even feel the tide
You were my lifeline
Now I’m cutting through the night
[Drop]
[Beat swells
Low bass surges
Layered background vocals]
Lifeline
Lifeline
Say you’ll rewind
Lifeline
Lifeline
Don’t leave me behind
Lifeline
Lifeline
One more sign
You were my lifeline
Come pull me back inside (hey)
