"Slip Away" lyrics - LUKE HEMMINGS

Falling, falling, falling in unfamiliar space
'Cause I was drenched in you before I even knew your name
Fading, fading, fading with the breath you take
See your southern heart hiding behind a city face

[Chorus:]
Drowning out the fires
As I'm lying here awake
I can feel you slip away
Like I knew you would
Don't you leave me in this silence
When you've seen all my mistakes
Now I'm looking for escapes
Like I knew I would

Stalling, stalling, stalling 'til I take the blame
Yeah, I lied to you like a promise on New Year's Day
You saw me, saw me, saw me, I got nowhere to hide
Yeah, the worst of me is racing all around your mind

[Chorus:]
Drowning out the fires
As I'm lying here awake
I can feel you slip away
Like I knew you would
Don't you leave me in this silence
When you've seen all my mistakes
Now I'm looking for escapes
Like I knew I would

[Bridge:]
Slip away, slip away, slip away
I'll slip away, slip away, slip away

[Chorus:]
Drowning out the fires
As I'm lying here awake
I can feel you slip away
Like I knew you would
Don't you leave me in this silence
When you've seen all my mistakes
Now I'm looking for escapes
Like I knew I would

[Outro:]
I can feel you slip away
Like I knew you would
