Slipping Away

Baby when we're coming home at 4 in the morning Before the sun was up Back in the east was a fire of gold Just waiting for the rest of the sky to fall in love Our hope is just a metaphor A simple matter for all of our dreams tonight And fear is just a shadow of The things that matter the most and I fear that I'm losing hope tonight Oh oh I feel like I'm dreaming Oh oh Staring up at the ceiling Oh oh It's 4 in the morning I can't sleep and it feels like I'm running Oh oh You wouldn't believe me If I can say it just the way that I'm feeling Oh oh The words that I wanted to say I feel I'm slipping away Remember that kid with a quiver and that His heart was on his sleeve like a first aid kit Where are you now Where are you now Remember that kid didn't know when to quit I still lose my breath when I think about it Oh where'd you go Oh where'd you go Oh oh I feel like I'm dreaming Oh oh Staring up at the ceiling Oh oh It's 4 in the morning I can't sleep and it feels like I'm running Oh oh You wouldn't believe me If I can say it just the way that I'm feeling Oh oh The words that I wanted to say I feel I'm slipping away I know this isn't what you wanted Last word til it comes and we're all in this now And on and on and on and on My heartbeat could tell you what time it is I try to shout but the words don't come out I feel I'm slipping away Oh oh I feel like I'm dreaming Oh oh Staring up at the ceiling Oh oh It's 4 in the morning I can't sleep and it feels like I'm running Oh oh You wouldn't believe me If I can say it just the way that I'm feeling Oh oh The words that I wanted to say I feel I'm slipping away
