lifelines

John Mayer

Saw you sleeping on the couch tonight
Though it serves you right
Makes you luckier than I
All the colors in the room have changed
The painting yesterday
Brother I discovered you

We're pushing on
We're passing through
It won't be long
'Til I walk with you
Tonight I'm down
I'm inside out
Staring at the pictures of the album you forgot about

Isn't it a shame?
Times have changed
But isn't it strange?
Lifelines stay the same

We're never where we want to be
But that's ok with me
'It's just the way it is', we say
It feels like makebelieve
You know that you're my history
Brother, I rediscovered you

We're pushing on
We're passing through
It won't be long
'Til I walk with you
Tonight I'm down
I'm inside out
Staring at the pictures in the album you forgot about

Isn't it a shame?
Times have changed
But isn't it strange?
Lifelines stay the same

Round and round
Can't believe my heart has waited this long
All along we've been children
In a cold world where wonder was
Lost everyday
If love was a compass
Oh I've lost my way
