Paroles de Lifeline

All this time I've been drawing your lifeline As I held your hand in mine I've been smoothing out your troubles While my own I left behind All this time I've been painting our portrait But I can't seem to make it shine The angle doesn't seem to matter Perhaps the problem's with the light It's taking so long And it's gonna take a little more Please prove me wrong Is it gonna take a little more? Ooh, in time I will whisper speaks of gladness Sweet release and the smiles I'll be carrying your laughter Like a favorite work of art
