Doc' said I got twelve hours
I called you without a second thought
Plane ride within the hour
As she pictures life without her son
Ohh, ohh, I know
One hour visitation
She beats me in chess, another round
Don't matter what we're saying
I'm just glad you made it into town
Ohh, ohh, hmm-mm, mm-mm
Save me, now I'm facing
All my fears of the unknown
I've been shakin' in my bones
Lately, I've been praying
To a god I've never known
I can't do this on my own
So try not to cry
I won't say goodbye just yet
So hold on to my hand
Oh, I'll be fine for tonight
With you by my side, oh my
But don't you know, you're my lifeline?
And no, I'm not good at calling
Dad said I've fallen off the grid
We hardly say I love you
'Cause your parent's parents never did
Ohh, ohh, ooh
Save me, now I'm facing
All my fears of the unknown
I've been shakin' in my bones
Lately, I've been praying
To a god I've never known
I can't do this on my own
Try not to cry
I won't say goodbye just yet
So hold on to my hand
Oh, I'll be fine for tonight
With you by my side, oh my
But don't you know, you're my lifeline?
So let go 'cause I won't waste another minute
This distance, we're drifting from difference of opinion
I can't be mad I'm not what you prayed for
I hope you know that no one else could ever
Save me
I've been praying
To a god I've never known
I can't do this on my own
Try not to cry
I won't say goodbye just yet
So hold on to my hand
Oh, I'll be fine for tonight
With you by my side, oh
Don't you know, you're my lifeline?
Ooh-ooh, my lifeline
Don't you know, you're my lifeline?
