Switchfoot - Slipping Away lyrics

rate me

Baby when we're coming home at 4 in the morning

Before the sun was up

Back in 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

A simple matter 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 4 in the morning

I can't sleep and it feels like I'm running

Oh oh

You wouldn't believe me

If I can say it just the way that I'm feeling

Oh oh

The words that I wanted to say

I feel I'm slipping away

Remember that kid with a quiver and that

His 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]

I know this isn't what you wanted

Last word til it comes and we're all in this now

And on and on and on and on

My heartbeat could tell you what time it is

I try to shout but the words don't come out

I feel I'm slipping away

[Chorus]
