Lifeline

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

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

It's taking so long

And it's gonna take a little more

Please prove me wrong

Is it gonna take a little more

Ooh, in time

I'll whisper speaks of gladness

Sweet release and smiles

I'll be carrying our laughter

Like a favorite work of art
