Peter Manheim - Slipping lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Refrain] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Refrain] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Outro] So I'm slipping, I'm slipping, I'm slipping away
