Lifeline

Lifeline

Husker Du
(album: Everything Falls Apart)

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

Someone help me lifeline

I grab the rope in front of me
It keeps slipping through 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
