Slipping Away

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.

Try to save myself but myself keeps slipping away,

Try to save myself but myself keeps slipping away,

Try to save myself but myself keeps slipping away,

Talking to myself on the way to the station,

Pictures in my head of a final destination,

All my doubts for the ones who are allowed to stay,

Try to save myself but myself keeps slipping away,

Whoa oh oh oh,

Whoa oh oh oh,

Whoa oh oh oh,

Whoa oh oh oh,

Whoa oh oh oh,

Try to save a place for my cuts and the scratches,

Try to over come my complacations and the catches,

Nothin ever grows where the sun where the sun doesnt

Shine all day,

Try to save myself but myself keeps slipping away,

Try to save myself but myself keeps slipping away,

Try to save myself but myself keeps slipping away,

Try to save myself but myself keeps slipping away,

Try to save myself but myself keeps slipping away,

Ah ah ah ah,

Ah ah ah ah,

Whoa oh oh oh

Try to save myself but my self keeps slipping (away)

Whoa oh oh oh

Try to save myself but myself but myself keeps

Slipping (away)

Whoa oh oh oh

Try to save myself but myself keeps slipping (away)

Whoa oh oh oh

Try to save myself but myself keeps slipping (away)

Whoa oh oh oh

Try to save myself but myself keeps slipping(away)

Whoa oh oh oh

Try to save myself but myself keeps slipping (away)

Whoa oh oh oh

Try to save myself but myself keeps slipping away

Whoa oh oh oh

Try to save myself but myself keeps slipping away

Whoa oh oh oh

Try to save my self but myself keeps slippin....
