Switchfoot — Slipping Away lyrics

Lyrics

Baby when we’re coming home at 4 in the morning
Before the sun was up Back in the east was a fire of gold
Just waiting for the rest of the sky to fall in love
Our hope is just a metaphor
A simple matter for all of our dreams tonight
And fear is just a shadow of The things that matter the most and I fear that I’m losing hope tonight
Oh oh
I feel like I’m dreaming
Oh oh Staring up at the ceiling
Oh oh It’s 4 in the morning
I can’t sleep and it feels like I’m running
Oh oh You wouldn’t believe me If I can say it just the way that I’m feeling
Oh oh The words that I wanted to say
I feel I’m slipping away
Remember that kid with a quiver and that
His heart was on his sleeve like a first aid kit
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Remember that kid didn’t know when to quit
I still lose my breath when I think about it Oh where’d you go?
(Oh where’d you go?)
Oh oh
I feel like I’m dreaming
Oh oh Staring up at the ceiling
Oh oh It’s 4 in the morning
I can’t sleep and it feels like I’m running
Oh oh You wouldn’t believe me If I can say it just the way that I’m feeling
Oh oh The words that I wanted to say
I feel I’m slipping away
(Bridge)
I know this isn’t what you wanted
Last word til it comes and we’re all in this now
And on and on and on and on My heartbeat could tell you what time it is
I try to shout but the words don’t come out
I feel I’m slipping away
Oh oh
I feel like I’m dreaming
Oh oh Staring up at the ceiling
Oh oh It’s 4 in the morning
I can’t sleep and it feels like I’m running
Oh oh You wouldn’t believe me If I can say it just the way that I’m feeling
Oh oh The words that I wanted to say
I feel I’m slipping away
