Slip

I'm helpless,
I'm hopeless,
But I hope this feeling goes away.

I'm fearless,
But too near this,
So I fear this, longing's here to stay.

I've got nothing left to lose,
Except my house, my car, my friends and both my pairs of shoes.
And I've got nothing left to choose,
You can't deny a beating heart repeating words I can't refuse...

So, I had best be on my way,
While my head is still above the clouds, and I still see shades of grey.
And I forgot what I should say,
So, I'll just slip into the night and write, some other day.

Well, I took the road less traveled by, and everyone was there.
It's as if I was expected and they checked on how I'd fare.
But you were unexpected as you dragged me to the light.
I remembered how you shimmered, but forgotten just how bright.

And I have tried to pay my dues,
Languishing in writing things that nobody can use.
And I've got nothing left to prove,
Except my theory that we're here to dance and sing the blues...

So, I had best be on my way,
While my head is still above the clouds, and I still see shades of grey.
And I forgot what I should say,
So, I'll just slip into the night and write, some other day.

You're like a siren, but I never hear your song.
Deep into the silence I'm prepetually drawn.
You're like an angel slipping from the great beyond.
You slip into my dreams at night and softly urge me on...

I'm helpless,
I'm hopeless,
But there's hope this feeling goes away.

I'm past it,
Moving faster,
So familiar, and yet it feels so strange.

I've got nothing left to do...

So, I had best be on my way,
While my head is still above the clouds, and I still see shades of grey.
And I forgot what I should say,
So, I'll just slip...
And I had best be on my way,
While my head is still above the clouds, and I still see shades of grey.
And I forgot what I meant to say,
So, I'll just slip into the night and write, another day.
