Let It Slip

You're something like safety I'm no good without you So hurry home The voice I'm hearing in my head Is never the ones that falls out Please hurry back I've still got this magic way Of pushing those everyone away Of always waiting too long To mean the things I say Always pause for something better The right words and the right letters The moments passed And I've let it slip away You're something like safety And I'm no good without you So hurry home The voice I'm hearing in my head Is never the one that fall out Please hurry back I could have burned a lighter brighter I Could have shone a little more I Could have pushed our little hope out A little further from the shore But the sand is always sinking The creek's full of this decay Stop the ceaseless thinking and get out of my way But reality's a motherfucker Preach boldness: act cold I've got nothing nice to say This would hurt less If I were twenty three Not twenty-nine on the bathroom floor Trying to get clean
