Lifeline Lyrics - Husker Du

I'm running out of time this time 

This time I can't be late 

I've got to find my destiny 

Before it turns to fate 

I feel so insecure, I feel so all alone 

I need something, some possession of my own 

I reach for what I want 

I see it in my sleep 

It's hard to get a hold of it 

And it's twice as hard to keep 

I feel so insecure, I feel so all alone 

Well, I need something, some possession of my own 

Someone help me, lifeline 

Someone help me, lifeline 

Someone help me, lifeline 

Someone help me, lifeline 

I grab the rope in front of me 

It keeps slipping from my hands 

I try to climb with all of my strength 

But it trickles through like sand 

This feeling's too secure, it's like a ball and chain 

Yeah, I know there's something dragging in my brain 

Now another rope appears 

I've got it snug and tight 

This is one that I can't let go of 

No matter how I fight 

This feeling's too secure, it's like a ball and chain 

Yeah, I know there's something dragging in my brain 

Someone help me, lifeline 

Someone help me, lifeline 

Someone help me, lifeline 

Someone help me, lifeline 

Lifeline, lifeline, lifeline, lifeline 

Lifeline, lifeline, lifeline
