Slippery Slope - Dar Williams

Well, we tied that knot

Just look at those rings we got

Gonna wear ‘em each year after today

We knew it was meant to be

We didn’t have to go wait and see

No matter what they say

I think you’ll agree we’re doing A OK

But you’re shaking your head

Now I’m tossing in bed

Are you smiling the smile

Like you wanted to shout?

Are we doing it wrong?

Are we dancing along

Down the slippery slope

That they told us about?

Oh whoa whoa

When you do that thing

That stubbornly not talking

Just say it’s me, I’ll say it’s true

For I am a horse’s ass

In a dancing class

Just getting around

Apologizing and knocking everybody down

Am I saying too much?

Not saying enough?

Feel the push and the pull

And the working it out

Are we letting it slide?

Are we taking a ride

Down the slippery slope

That they told us about?

Oh whoa whoa

At the start of an avalanche

We’ll grab ahold of an olive branch

Until that sun comes out again

Or how about in the things we do

You’ll think of me and I’ll think of you

Right through to the end

Hand and hand as we go, and the best of friends

You’re my beacon of light

You’re my noblest fight

You’re the surest of things that I ever have found

There’s a twist and a turn

There’s a bridge you can burn

There’s a slippery slope

Let’s stand our ground

Oh whoa whoa
