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
