Lifeline
(Gus MacGregor)
We put our oldest jeans on
And headed for the nearest dive
And ran through all the questions
That were playing on our minds
I could see you laughing
As you took a whiskey hit
Saying life is no rehearsal
Honey this is it
And I swear I heard the angels calling
And heaven send a lifeline down
Saying we'll wake you when you're falling
Just before you hit the ground
I could have looked at you forever
With that mischief in your eyes
I could have made the gods forgive me
For being a fool with you that night
If you gave me half a chance to
I would take you in the waves
I'd promise love just like the sunrise
Promises the day
And I swear I heard the angels calling
And heaven send a lifeline down
Saying we'll wake you when you're falling
Just before you hit the ground
