Lifeline Lyrics

Changing her colors she's off to the shore
She rides the soul train and he fight the law
There's a power in his voice and it makes her feel so sure
So live and live in love

One day he'll build a statue with his hands
So gentle when he tries to understand
This subterfuge he never really planned
Now you're living in the lifeline

We're moving
In the lifeline
We're walking
In the lifeline
We're throwing
So live and let live in love

Exchanging their letters their exits begun
With deathless precision he's aiming his gun
A democracy of sorts that justifies the sum
So live and let die in love

Neither has the ghost of a chance
Those decisions only can be made once
You never really know just what you're giving
Till you're living in the lifeline

We're moving
In the lifeline
We're walking
In the lifeline
We're throwing

He could have built a statue with his hands
So gentle when he tries to understand
You never really know just what you're giving
Till you're living in the lifeline

We're moving
In the lifeline
We're walking
In the lifeline
We're throwing to you
But I'm not living

Only When You Leave

Changing her colors she's off to the shore
She rides the soul train and he fight the law
There's a power in his voice and it makes her feel so sure
So live and live in love

One day he'll build a statue with his hands
So gentle when he tries to understand
This subterfuge he never really planned
Now you're living in the lifeline

We're moving
In the lifeline
We're walking
In the lifeline
We're throwing
So live and let live in love

Exchanging their letters their exits begun
With deathless precision he's aiming his gun
A democracy of sorts that justifies the sum
So live and let die in love

Neither has the ghost of a chance
Those decisions only can be made once
You never really know just what you're giving
Till you're living in the lifeline

We're moving
In the lifeline
We're walking
In the lifeline
We're throwing

He could have built a statue with his hands
So gentle when he tries to understand
You never really know just what you're giving
Till you're living in the lifeline

We're moving
In the lifeline
We're walking
In the lifeline
We're throwing to you
But I'm not living

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Always thought this had something to do with a long distance relationship ending, and the heartbreak caused by one person being more interested than the other.
