Paperfaces Lyrics by Feeder

The Best Of

1999

Staring at paperfaces
Expressions like empty pages
Day after day

Waiting for the light to change now
Reaching for a cloud to come down
And cover me

Can't shut you out
Can't get you out
(Slide away, slide away, slide away, slide away)
Can't take you down
Can't watch you drown
(Slide away, slide away, slide away, slide away)

Waiting for the world to change now
Disillusion takes a bite out
And swallows me
Looking for a way to get out
Wishing that the rush would come down
And smother me

Can't shut you out
Can't get you out
(Slide away, slide away, slide away, slide away)
Can't take you down
Can't watch you drown
(Slide away, slide away, slide away, slide away)

If you can learn to be yourself
Then that's okay
If you can find a reason now
Don't drift away

Walking down streets to nowhere
Stepping on feet with no cares
Losing myself

Can't shut you out
Can't get you out
(Slide away, slide away, slide away, slide away)
Can't take you down
Can't watch you drown
(Slide away, slide away, slide away, slide away)

Can't shut you out
Can't get you out
(Slide away, slide away, slide away, slide away)
Can't take you down
Can't watch you drown
(Slide away, slide away, slide away, slide away)
