Lifeline lyrics Mat Kearney

Lifeline Lyrics

Mat Kearney

you’re watching everything you ever held on to
slip away from you
and all you’re running from well it’s catching up to you

got you looking for a lifeline
swimming in the high tide
waiting for the daylight
to bring you home

the world is too big to never ask why
the answers don’t fall straight out of the sky
i’m fighting to live and feel alive
but i can’t feel a thing without you by my side
send me out a lifeline

you’re watching everyone you ever belonged to
walk away from you
maybe all along you’ve been running from the truth

got you looking for a lifeline
you’re swimming in the high tide
waiting for the daylight
to bring you home

there’s nothing i would change, i’d give it all away
for you again and again and over again
everything i own is in your control

i’m looking for a lifeline
swimming in the high tide
waiting for the daylight
to bring me home

New York To California

under the tv lights you fell asleep again
don’t know i’m writing this song about you
there’s a picture of a hollywood sign reflecting off your skin
i don’t wanna live another day without you

you woke up and said baby i
had one of those dreams again
the rain came down and i lost you
in the wind
you said something about don’t leave
before you fell back asleep
before i could sing my song back to ya

that you could find yourself lost out in this world
and i’d find a way to get back to your side
no mountain is too high, no stone is too small
i’d build a bridge through the fire
for you i would crawl
from new york to california

i can hear you softly breathe
oh what you do to me
if baby i could climb down into your dreams
i’d build a ladder down through the clouds
where the storm is raging
now i don’t wanna sing another song without ya

if you found yourself lost out in this world
then i’d find a way to get back to your side
no mountain is too high, no stone is too small
i’d build a bridge through the fire
for you i would crawl
from new york to california

la la la la la la
oh oh it’s not too far
la la la la la la
oh oh to where you are

‘cause you could find yourself lost out in this world
and i’d find a way to get back to your side
if you find yourself lost out in this world
then i’d find a way to get back to your side
no mountain is too high, no stone is too small
i’d build a bridge through the fire
for you i would crawl
from new york to California
