Switchfoot - Slipping Away lyrics

[Verse 1] Remember coming home at four in the morning Before the sun was up Back when the east was a fire of gold Just waiting for the rest of the sky to fall in love Our hope is just a metaphor, of something better For all of our dreams tonight And fear is just a shadow of, the things that matter the most And I fear that I'm losing hope tonight [Chorus] Oh oh I feel like I'm dreaming Oh oh Staring up at the ceiling Oh oh It's four in the morning I can't sleep and it feels like a warning Oh oh Yeah would you believe me? If I could say it just the way that I'm feeling Oh oh The words that I wanted to say I feel them slipping away [Verse 2] Remember that kid with the quivering lip Whose heart was on his sleeve like a first aid kit? Where are you now? Where are you now? Remember that kid didn't know when to quit? I still lose my breath when I think about it Oh, where'd you go? (Oh where'd you go?) [Chorus] Oh oh I feel like I'm dreaming Oh oh Staring up at the ceiling Oh oh It's four in the morning I can't sleep and it feels like a warning Oh oh Yeah would you believe me? If I could say it just the way that I'm feeling Oh oh The words that I wanted to say I feel them slipping away [Bridge] I know this isn't what you wanted Past words in the present are haunting us now And on and on and on and on (I feel I'm slipping away) My heartbeat could tell you it's urgent I try to shout but the words don't come out I feel I'm slipping away [Chorus] Oh oh I feel like I'm dreaming Oh oh Staring up at the ceiling Oh oh It's four in the morning I can't sleep and it feels like a warning Oh oh Yeah would you believe me? If I could say it just the way that I'm feeling Oh oh The words that I wanted to say I feel them slipping away
