slip away

don't you get so close to me, I'm not easy prey
though every night I'll spend with you, I'm not the one who's gonna stay
This is a game to play, some tragic hip mystique
but i never know when i might slip away while you sleep
slip away

I'm not afraid to settle down
i've tried that before
And I sealed it up with rings and vows, but nothing is for sure
I know about the promises that true lovers keep
but promises, they can slip away while you sleep

bridge:
I have tried a thousand times and the ends always the same
You think you've got something to hold on to
but it always
slips away

I hear the call of mountain streams
ocean spray and wind
and I want to walk down every road with mystery at it's end
a million places in this world that I have yet to see
and that's where I'll go when I slip away while you sleep
slip away

don't you get so close to me
