Everybody gets high sometimes, you know What else can we do when we're feeling low? So take a deep breath and let it go You shouldn't be drowning on your own And if you feel you're sinking, I will jump right over Into cold, cold water for you And although time may take us into different places I will still be patient with you And I hope you know I won't let go I'll be your lifeline tonight I won't let go I'll be your lifeline tonight 'Cause we all get lost sometimes, you know? It's how we learn and how we grow And I wanna lay with you 'til I'm old You shouldn't be fighting on your own And if you feel you're sinking, I will jump right over Into cold, cold water for you And although time may take us into different places I will still be patient with you And I hope you know I won't let go (I won't let go, no no, no no no no) I'll be your lifeline tonight I won't let go I'll be your lifeline tonight Come on, come on Save me from my rocking boat I just wanna stay afloat I'm all alone And I hope someone’s gonna take me home Somewhere I can rest my soul I need to know you won't let go I won't let go, no no, no no no no I'll be your lifeline tonight You won't let go I'll be your lifeline tonight I won't let go I won't let go
