The Further I Slide
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Starting today we're on holiday
Everybody sees you in the wrong way
No one else sees you my way
Your gazes cripple me
Keep life a mystery
I don't want it to change
Just keep them coming my way
That's all a lie
I can't rationalise
The further I slide
I can't seem to get back to your side
'Cos you're a summer child
And I'm a winter mild
I can't stay with the heat
As you blossom out around me
What if there is nothing after this?
Your gazes cripple me
Keep life a mystery
I don't want it to change
Just keep 'em coming my way
