Lifelines Lyrics by Doves

Kingdom of Rust

2009

[Verse 1]
Well I, feels like a place I've never been
And I, feels like a place I've never seen

[Chorus]
Oh, somebody's givin' in but I'm not
Somebody's givin' it but I'm not
Somebody's givin' it a lifetime
Somebody threw you a lifeline

[Verse 2]
Somebody wakes to the sun in the sky
Others are livin' with hate in their eyes

Oh, the fires that you made and the earth that you walk
The ground beneath and the words that you talk
The fires that we own and the words that we talk
The ground beneath and the earth that we walk
All gone

And yeah, there are pictures of the sun
And yeah, just like sketches of the sun
The colors run

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Sometimes it's hard to see things straight
Tryin' to make sense of a single page
Sometimes you seem to spend your life tryin'
But I'm just lookin' for my lifeline

The fires that you made and the earth that you walk
The soil beneath and the words that you talk
The fires that we own and the words that we talk
The ground beneath and the earth that we walk
The earth that we walk, gone, all gone

And it feels like a place I've never been
