Slideaway

from Somewhere Nowhere by Bateau Ivre

/

lyrics

born into a world of blurry lights
lost without the warmth of being held tight
need this part of you to be all mine
reading the big truth in each small sign

and everything slides away
everything slides away

does stay mean not to go, does go mean leave?
and how far can one go when life’s on repeat?
scared of all the demons that I might meet
rather choose the path of slow defeat

when everything slides away
everything slides away
seems there’s only loss to gain
devalued by the price I’ll pay

how could something soothe so painfully
is this about you or about me?
from our highs and lows we can’t be freed
so may I face the chance you make me see?

when everything slides away
everything slides away
seems there’s only loss to gain
devalued by the price I'll pay.
