Back in my old home town
There were long summer days
And there were leaves on the ground
And it was too cold to play
The citys colder than cold
Its faceless and gray
And all the dreams that you hold
Keep slippin away
[Chorus]
Slippin away, slippin away
Little by little, day by day
Slippin away, slippin away
Little by little and day by day
I saw an old friend of mine
Asked if he was ok
And he said everythings fine
But his eyes filled with pain
Yeah, he had nothin to lose
He had nothin to say
He feels worn out and used
And slippin away
[Chorus]
Better put up a fight
Start right here today
Its time you start right
Before you just slip away
[Chorus: x 2]
