Lifelines Lyrics

To me, there are 2 meanings to this song.

The first meaning is that things in life only happen 1 time. It is about making the best out of every situation and hold on to those relationships that mean the most.

My second interpretation comes from being a parent. If you look at the lyrics as a conversation between a child and a parent it would look somethine like this.

Child, " What if it hurts, what then? What do we do, what do you say?" Parent, "Don't throw your lifeline away"

This is a parent passing on wisdom and life lessons to their child. This is where the song holds a more deeper meaning for me.
