Staring at paperfaces, expressions like empty pages
Day after day
Waiting for the light to change now, reaching for a cloud to come down
And cover me

Can't shut you out, Can't get you out
(Slide away slide away slide away slide away)
Can't take you down, Can't watch you drown
(Slide away slide away slide away slide away)

Waiting for the world to change now, disillusion takes a bite out
And swallows me
Looking for a way to get out, wishing that the rush would come down
And smother me

Can't shut you out, Can't get you out
(Slide away, slide away, slide away, slide away)
Can't take you down can't watch you drown
(Slide away, slide away, slide away, slide away)

If you can learn to be yourself then that's okay,
If you can find a reason now don't drift away

Walking down streets to nowhere, stepping on feet with no cares
Losing myself

Can't shut you out, Can't get you out
(Slide away, slide away, slide away, slide away)
Can't take you down, Can't watch you drown
(Slide away, slide away, slide away, slide away)

Can't shut you out, Can't get you out
(Slide away, slide away, slide away, slide away)
Can't take you down, Can't watch you drown
(Slide away, slide away, slide away, slide away)
