Everybody gets high sometimes, you know 00:03

What else can we do when we're feeling low? 00:08

So take a deep breath and let it go 00:13

You shouldn't be drowning on your own 00:18

And if you feel you're sinking, I will jump right over 00:22

Into cold, cold water for you 00:28

And although time may take us into different places 00:32

I will still be patient with you 00:38

And I hope you know 00:42

I won't let go 00:45

00:48

I'll be your lifeline tonight 00:50

I won't let go 00:55

I'll be your lifeline tonight 01:01

'Cause we all get lost sometimes, you know? 01:07

It's how we learn and how we grow 01:12

And I wanna lay with you 'til I'm old, oh 01:17

You shouldn't be fighting on your own 01:23

And if you feel you're sinking, I will jump right over 01:27

Into cold, cold water for you 01:32

And although time may take us into different places 01:37

I will still be patient with you 01:42

And I hope you know 01:47

I won't let go 01:50

(I won't let go, no-no, no-no no-no) 01:52

I'll be your lifeline tonight 01:55

I won't let go 02:00

I'll be your lifeline tonight 02:05

Come on, come on 02:11

Save me from my rocking boat 02:12

I just wanna stay afloat 02:15

I'm all alone 02:18

And I hope, I hope, that someone's gonna take me home 02:21

Somewhere I can rest my soul (Rest my soul) 02:25

I need to know you won't let go 02:28

(I won't let go, no-no, no-no-no-no) 02:33

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

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, oh

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, I hope, that someone's gonna take me home

Somewhere I can rest my soul (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

I won't let go

...

I'll be your lifeline tonight

I won't let go

...
