Lyrics
I sat down and wrote this letter Like I usually wouldnt do But this time I thought it better If I say these things to you I know you dont like the drama Keep it plausably denied But every now and then Im gonna Let my heart outside Always been a restless sleeper If theres anyone around I know what can dig you in deeper I dont look for none in town Ive never been a true believer In anything Ive found Still you know how bad I need you So you barely make a sound CHORUS: Slipping away, some people say Pretty soon this will all be gone So while its today I just want to say So long, so long. Its hard to talk about the future When there aint much of it there Remember, well forget what we used to Take for granted without a care So while we share this light above us And the spirits in the air I just want to say, I love us And Im glad that you are here CHORUS: Slipping away, some people say Pretty soon this will all be gone So while its today I just want to say So long, so long, So long.
