Slipping - Eryn Allen Kane

Slipping, slipping, slipping away

I can tell you’re not content and you don’t want to tell me that

You’re slipping, slipping, slipping away

Like a bud that never bloomed

And now can’t stand the heat of June

Little light you’ve lost your glow, you just cry and no one knows

That love isn’t your friend, your friends are gone

But I say, it’s okay, it’s okay

Ditchin' this town 'fore I drown and there’s one more open seat, trust in me

Take my hand, there’s a big old world and I’ll show you everything you wanna

see, see, see

Anything you wanna see

Drifting, drifting, drifting away

You can tell I’m not content, but bitten nails prove some relent

I’m drifting, drifting, drifting away

Like a tide under the moon, low and silently at tune

I thought that I would find your glow

I just cry because I know

That love is your friend, and that friend is me

But you never noticed a friend

Ditchin' this town 'fore I drown and there’s one more open seat, trust in me

Take my hand, there’s a big old world and I’ll show you everything you wanna

see, see, see

Anything you wanna see

Anything you wanna see

Blue bird locked up inside of me, I can’t let you be free

So for now I’ll keep you tucked away with memories of willow trees

Hopelessly defenseless, love has left us breathless

Tell me you’re a liar, we will never win this

I chased away your demons, you’re always in the deep end

There’s a black hole in my heart and it won’t stop

So I’m slipping, I’m slipping, I’m slipping away
