Slippery Lyrics by Human Heat

All Is Too Much

2017

[Verse 1]
To be around the world more than you are home
To have too many friends, call even one up on the phone
To be far away, there's nothing you can do
It’s for another day, it's for another you, uh

[Verse 2]
To see all the best, but never know what's good
To be sure of what you can do, but never know what you should
I know I missed your call, I watched it ring and go unanswered
It’s nothing personal, I must be on some great adventure

[Chorus]
Slippery, I am now, but there's not much
Glamour and mystery, there's just a touch
It's mostly too vague to try to hold
Try to hold onto
Slippеry, I am now, so back and forth
Not asking anything, but wanting more
I'm begging "Can you pleasе just try to hold
Try to hold onto?"

[Verse 3]
To look back and see what you have to show
The days you spent living out on the road
It leaves a mark, but not something deep that lasts
The flaming star, it soars, but it is burning out quite fast

[Chorus]
Slippery, I am now, but there's not much
Glamour and mystery, there's just a touch
It's mostly too vague to try to hold
Try to hold onto
Slippery, I am now, so back and forth
Not asking anything, but wanting more
I’m begging "Can you please just try to hold
Try to hold onto?"

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
And I swear this time I will stay around
What can I do to prove it? I’m standing on solid ground
I'll build a house so tall, but no one will dare question
If it will ever fall because my foundation’s been tested
