Slipping Away Lyrics by Tanlines

Highlights

2015

[Verse 1]
Was I running backwards
Or was it all just a dream
It was a beautiful morning
It was all I could see
Should I ask for an antidote?
Should I ask her to take it slow?
I don't know
I should offer an anecdote
About some place I used to go
My M.O

[Chorus]
It's you sometimes it's you
It's true sometimes it's true
We were just born slipping
Slipping away

[Verse 2]
Am I running backwards?
Or am I just still asleep
And I'm right in the middle
Of a beautiful dream
You were listening on a stethoscope
Asking me to take it slow
But I don't know
I'm looking for an antidote
Something to speed it up or make it slow
Before you know…

[Chorus]
It's you sometimes it's you
It's true sometimes it's true
We were just born slipping
Slipping away
