lifeline (feat. Natasha Singh, Arushi Pant & Jared Klinghoffer)

I feel my heart breaking in real time
Why does a good thing never stay just mine
I've been begging
I've been craving
I've been working
I've been saving
But the world insists on never caving
Every caress leaves a burn on my skin
I stare at each mark with a guilt like I've sinned
I'll be leaving
You'll be staying
I'll be growing
You'll be breaking
And it's my fault that things are changing

Palms on my cheeks
You're talking down to me
Doe eyes meet your lifeline
Don't worry I'll be just fine
Fill the space between our lips
Feel your hands lay on my hips
And thank the world for a chance
To just exist

I feel my heart swelling to a dangerous size and
I'm so happily surprised by
How I fit into your life
I'll be singing
You'll start dancing
Grab my waist then
Lead me prancing
Around the living room
Like it's only me and you
But all at once the panic seems to strike me
The tears in your eyes
Once August turns to flee
Like a knife sinking deeper into your chest
If I take it out now, would that be for the best

Palms on my cheeks
You're talking down to me
Doe eyes meet your lifeline
Don't worry I'll be just fine
Fill the space between our lips
Feel your hands lay on my hips
And thank the world for a chance
To just exist

I've never known what it's like to be loved
I've never known what it's like to be enough
I'm staring at your breath, up and down
You're the manifest of my dreams
Why'd you have to show up now
I've never known what it's like to be loved
I've never known what it's like to be enough
I'm staring at your breath, up and down
Well least I know now
At least I know now

So fill the space between our lips
Place your hands right on my hips
And I'll thank the world for a chance to exist with you
