"Slipping Away" lyrics - PEARL CHARLES

PEARL CHARLES
"Slipping Away"

Been this way for weeks and weeks
Why does it feel like years?
We know we live, we know we die
But we don't know why we're here
Horizons in my mind
Are changing with perspective
There's never been a line
Between the past and the present

[Chorus:]
Watch it slipping away, there it goes
Things that we used to say don't make sense anymore
(Don't make sense anymore)
Watch it slipping away, there it goes
Things that we used to say don't make sense anymore
(Don't make sense anymore)

A picture is worth a thousand words
I heard inside a painting
Looking back, you trace the path
Till you find your destination
There was nothing we could do
Can't walk the path of least resistance
Only songs are left as proof
Of our unfulfilled existence

[Chorus:]
Watch it slipping away, there it goes
Things that we used to say don't make sense anymore
(Don't make sense anymore)
Watch it slipping away, there it goes
Things that we used to say don't make sense anymore
(Don't make sense anymore)

[Bridge:]
Spending all your time forgetting
That you were even there
Spending all your time pretending
That you never even came

[Chorus:]
Watch it slipping away, there it goes
Things that we used to say don't make sense anymore
(Don't make sense anymore)
Watch it slipping away, there it goes
Things that we used to say don't make sense anymore
(Don't make sense anymore)
There it goes
There it goes
There it goes
There it goes
