The Weeks - Slips Lyrics

They built a world inside their heads
Said they could float just above their beds
No there's no curtains no strings attached
You'll never know if you have to ask

Slips through my fingers I let her fall
Soak up like rain

Trust he's the one with the fevered head
Said say your prayers then go back to bed
She stared at stars tried to soak them up
Crept out my windows then said good luck

Slips through my fingers I let her fall
Soak up like rain

Or we could
watch it all
fade away
bigger parts
of yesterday
state your claim on this place
I watched the
buildings change
ground gave way
holding on
to pipes and planks
wake back up and be changed

Filled with resilience and haunted hands
He led his nightmares like marching bands
Haven't met a bad dream I am scared of yet
but I've never seen what's inside your head

Slips through my fingers I let her fall
Soak up like rain
