Lifelines
(Lifelines - 2002) A-HA Lyrics

One time, to know that it's real.
Experience something once to truly know its reality and authenticity.

One time, to know how it feels.
Experiencing something only once is enough to understand the range of emotions it can evoke.

That's all.
It only takes one experience to gain authentic knowledge and feelings.

One call, your voice on the phone.
The sound of someone's voice over the phone can serve as a strong connection.

One place, a moment alone.
A solitary moment in a particular place can have a profound impact.

What do you see?
Questioning what one perceives in their surroundings.

What do you know?
Wondering what knowledge one possesses in relation to their perception.

One sign, what'll I do?
Seeing a sign can prompt one to take action.

Just follow your lifeline through.
Trust your intuition and follow your path through life.

What if it hurts, what then?
Acknowledging the possibility of pain and uncertainty in life.

What do we do, what do you say?
Questioning how to handle difficult situations and seeking guidance.

Don't throw your lifeline away.
Don't give up on your intuition and path in life during challenging times.

One time, just once in my life.
Reflecting on how rare and precious certain experiences are.

Yeah one time, to know it can't happen twice.
Realizing that some experiences are unique and impossible to recreate.

One shot on a clear blue sky.
A metaphor for seizing opportunities and taking chances while the timing is right.

One look, I see the reasons why you cared.
A single glance can reveal someone's true intentions and emotions towards another person.

One chance to get back to the point where everything starts.
Sometimes there is only one opportunity to reset and start anew.

One chance to keep it together, things fall apart.
It can be difficult to keep things under control, but sometimes one chance is all it takes.

One sign to make us believe it's true.
A sign can validate and confirm one's beliefs or suspicions.

What do you see, where do we go?
Questioning what lies ahead and seeking direction.

One sign, how do we grow?
A sign can lead to growth and development.

By letting your lifeline show.
Being true to oneself and following the path that feels right.

What if we do, what now?
Speculating on the outcomes of one's actions and decisions.

What do you say, how do I know?
Seeking advice and guidance to make informed decisions.

Don't let your lifeline go.
Never lose sight of one's true path in life and intuition.

Don't let your lifeline go.
A reminder to stay true to oneself and not give up on their path.
