Lifelines
A-Ha · Lifelines
One time to know that it's real
One time to know how it feels
That's all
One call - your voice on the phone
One place - a moment alone
That's all
What do you see?
What do you know?
What sign?
What do I do?
Just follow your lifeline through
What if you hate?
What then?
What do we do?
What do you say?
Don't throw your lifeline away
Don't throw your lifeline away
One time - just once in my life
Yeah - One time - to know it can happen twice
One shot of a clear blue sky
One look - I see no reasons why you can't
One chance to get back
To the point where everything starts
Once chance to keep it together
Things fall apart
Once sign to make us believe it's true
What do you see?
Where do we go?
What sign?
How do we grow?
By letting your lifeline show
What if we do? What up to now?
What do you say?
How do I know?
Don't let your lifeline go
Don't let your lifeline go
Don't let your lifeline go
One time to know how it feels
That's all
One call - your voice on the phone
One place - a moment alone
That's all
What do you see?
What do you know?
What sign?
What do I do?
Just follow your lifeline through
What if you hate?
What then?
What do we do?
What do you say?
Don't throw your lifeline away
Don't throw your lifeline away
One time - just once in my life
Yeah - One time - to know it can happen twice
One shot of a clear blue sky
One look - I see no reasons why you can't
One chance to get back
To the point where everything starts
Once chance to keep it together
Things fall apart
Once sign to make us believe it's true
What do you see?
Where do we go?
What sign?
How do we grow?
By letting your lifeline show
What if we do? What up to now?
What do you say?
How do I know?
Don't let your lifeline go
Don't let your lifeline go
Don't let your lifeline go
Lifelines - A-Ha
Released in 1988 on the album Lifelines, this track represents a pivotal moment in the Norwegian band A-Ha's evolution from synth-pop to a more mature, orchestral sound. Featuring the distinctive vocal harmonies of Morten Harket and the signature three-part chorus, the song blends electronic production with classical influences to create an atmospheric and emotionally resonant piece. It stands as a key example of the group's ability to craft intricate arrangements that balance pop accessibility with sophisticated musicality, marking a departure from their earlier hits while maintaining their unique identity within the genre.
