Sangtekst: Mat Kearney. City of Black & White. Lifeline.

Watching everything you ever held onto slip away from you
All you're running from, 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

Watching everyone you ever belonged to walk away from you
Baby 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

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

There's nothing I would change, I'd give it all away
For you to get it 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

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, won't you send me out a lifeline?
Send me out a lifeline
