[Verse 1]
Doc said I got twelve hours
I called you without a second thought
Plane ride within the hour
As she pictures life without her son
Oh, oh, I know

[Verse 2]
One hour visitation
She beats me in chess, another round
Don't matter what we're sayin'
I'm just glad you made it into town
Oh, oh, mm, mmhmm

[Pre-Chorus]
Save me, now I'm facing
All my fears of the unknown
I've been shakin' in my bones
Lately, I've been prayin'
To a god I've never known
I can't do this on my own

[Chorus]
So try not to cry
I won't say goodbye just yet
So hold on to my hand
Oh, I'll be fine for tonight
With you by my side, oh my
Don't you know you're my lifeline
[Verse 3]
I know I'm not good at callin'
Dad said I've fallen off the grid
We hardly say "I love you"
'Cause your parent's parents never did
Oh, oh, ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
Save me, now I'm facing
All my fears of the unknown
I've been shakin' in my bones
Lately, I've been praying
To a god I've never known
I can't do this on my own

[Chorus]
Try not to cry
I won't say goodbye just yet
So hold on to my hand
Oh, I'll be fine for tonight
With you by my side, oh my
Don't you know you're my lifeline

[Bridge]
So let go 'cause I won't waste another minute
This distance, we're driftin' from difference of opinion
I can't be mad I'm not what you planned for
I hope you would know that no one else could ever
[Pre-Chorus]
Save me, I've been praying
To a god I've never known
I can't do this on my own

[Chorus]
Try not to cry
I won't say goodbye just yet
So hold on to my hand
Oh, I'll be fine for tonight
With you by my side
Oh, don't you know you're my lifeline

[Outro]
Ooh, ooh, my lifeline
Don't you know you're my lifeline
