Slips Away (Feat. Jason Schwartzman) Lyrics by POP ETC

2022

Who has it worse? The new guy? The old guy? Who thinks about who more?
Maybe I lost my touch
Maybe I took just a little too much
All I ever wanted to know
We were born with nothing at all
Chomping at the bit for attention
Going for the gold
And it was right for a minute there
It slips away
Oh it slips away
And we pray that it won’t show
It slips away
Oh it slips away
And no matter how tight we hold
There it goes…
You were just joking around
When I started spiraling down
And history repeats
All things beautiful fade
Needed someone naive to go save
Get you back on your feet
And it was right for a minute there
Must have been some kind of mixup I shouldn’t be here
It slips away
Oh it slips away
And we pray that it won’t show
It slips away
Oh it slips away
And no matter how tight we hold
There it goes…
There is some statistic about the number of lifeguards who died trying to save someone
Apparently, the victim would push the lifeguard under water and hold them there
In order to stay above the surface, ultimately leading to their demise
I thought about that a lot last summer driving past your house by accident
How I’m dead
How you killed me somehow
I did everything I could to be some extreme version of myself
Shots in the dark trying to be someone you could stand to sleep next to
Or something ridiculous like that
Who has it worse? The new guy? The old guy? Who thinks about who more?
