Rolling
Down the sunny avenues
Well, all this running around
I'm back on the road with you again baby

Free ride
I haven't got a care in the world
There's only me and you girl
Back on the road with you again baby

Sweet life we're holding onto this life
And all because you've saved me
Zero to hero that's what you made me

Lady, you know that she excites me
But her mama never liked me
I'm back on the road with you again baby

Don't pick no hole in my soul
Don't you spoil my sweet charade
I get high on the girl
For me she was clearly made

And don't get mixed up about it
'Cause she won't leave me at sea
I get a groove with the girl
She got a lifeline out to me

Deadlines
We won't be needing any of those no more
It seems like the right time
To be back on the road with you again baby

I feel like
I'll never feel the cold now
I'll never be alone now
'Cause I'm back on the road with you again

Don't pick no hole in my soul
Don't you spoil my sweet charade
I get high on the girl
For me she was clearly made

I don't need no destination
'Cause my baby's saving me
She got the lifeline of love
She got it all thrown out to me

Don't lose me now
'Cause I need you baby, need you baby

We gotta get up
Run away baby
We gotta get on
Run away baby
You know your mama never liked me
She said we gonna break up
Said it's gonna never work
But it's too bad baby
We're back on the road again
And now we're moving
Running to the sunset
(back on the road again)
Just me and you together
(back on the road again)
I got a groove on the girl
(back on the road again)
Her mama didn't like me

Don't pick no hole in my soul
Don't you spoil my sweet charade
I get high on the girl yeh
For me she was clearly made

And don't get mixed up about it
'Cause she won't leave me at sea
I get a groove with the girl
She got a lifeline out to me

Just got my feel good factor
And it's gone right through the roof
I get the blues with the news
Girl let's get it on the hoof

Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
A lifeline of love yeh

Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
A lifeline of love yeh

Oh I need your lifeline of love
Get it out to me
Well I need her
Don't lose me now
Don't lose me now
I got your lifeline all thrown out to me




Oh I've got your lifeline
Got your lifeline of love yeh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jamiroquai's song "Lifeline" describe a feeling of liberation and joy after overcoming obstacles and finding solace in a relationship. The singer expresses his happiness and gratitude for the freedom and love that his partner provides, stating that he feels carefree and can finally escape the stress and deadlines of his former life. He also acknowledges the disapproval of his partner's mother, but says that it does not matter because they are happy together.


The chorus repeats the phrase "Throw me a lifeline" several times, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for the support that the singer receives from his girlfriend or as a literal image of a rope thrown to someone who is drowning, representing the idea that the love and affection of another person can provide a sense of safety and salvation.


Overall, "Lifeline" is an optimistic and upbeat song that celebrates the power of love to bring people together and transform lives. It is a testament to the importance of finding someone who can support and inspire us through the difficulties of life, and who can make us feel alive and grateful.

I started listening to Jamiroquai in 7th grade!!!! My friends thought I was nuts but I discovered what real music was back then.

@bernardoferrerarodrigues9088

Same here!!

@anamariarodriguezcortes8737

Same here too! :)

@Joakko27

WTF? This album is simply amazing, It has rock, jazz, reggae, poppy structures and amazing lyrics. There's not a single time I hear smoke and mirrors and don't end up dancing like crazy, not a single time I don't feel like crying when I hear blue skies, not a single time I don't want to turn up the volume to the max when I hear white knuckle ride, and not a single time I don't enjoy the entire album as much as I enjoyed every other. The JAM's still here, and "original fans" appreciate it.

@rosanabruno8608
