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)
