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)
