[Verse 1: Both]
I sleep away all the light
I keep away, out of sight, out of sight
And when the day turns to night
I slip away and lose my mind, lose my mind
Oh my, my, my
Oh, how I tried
[Verse 2: Both]
And as we lie silently
Your body soft, so close to me, close to me
I creep away and let you sleep
I dream today, tomorrow speaks
Oh my, my, my
Oh, how I tried
[Verse 3: Both]
And as the sun comes out to play
So soon I wish the day away, day away
Still left unsaid, the things to say
I lost my heart through window panes
Oh my, my, my
Oh, how I tried
Oh my, my, my
Oh, how I tried
[Outro: Josephine, Anthony, and Both]
Oh my, my, my
Oh my, my, my
Oh my, my, my
Oh, how I tried
Oh my, my, my
Oh, how I tried
And my, my, my
My, my, my
Oh, how I tried
Oh my, my, my
Oh, how I tried
Oh my, my, my
Oh my, my, my
Oh, how I tried
Oh, how I tried
Oh my, my, my
Oh, how I tried
Oh my, my, my
Oh, how I tried
Oh, how I tried
Oh my, my, my
Oh, how I tried
Oh my, my, my
Oh, how I tried
Oh my, my, my
Oh, how I tried

“Slip Away” was written really precisely about that moment in the movies, you know when people get into bed, and then like one of them turns their back on the other one but they’re both awake? (…) It’s that kind of really tragic momen...
