Slippin Away Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I went to your door
You said there's nobody home
But, babe, the lights are all on
So tell me what the fuck is going on?
Wrote you a note
Hearts in your name on my phone
Been shoving love down your throat
But now I'm thinking maybe I made you choke
[Pre-Chorus]
Deep down know I'm not your honey
I'm not tapped, I won't boil your bunny
I'm just sad 'cause I tried too hard
Smothered you with love and pushed you away
[Chorus]
I can't help it
Crush instead of giving her space
She can't take it, ooh, and now she's slipping away
I squeeze harder, squeeze until we both suffocate
She's irritated, ooh, and now she's slipping away
[Post-Chorus]
Slipping away
Slipping away
[Verse 2]
I freed up my time
Told all my friends that you're mine
And on my wall, there's a shrine
Of every picture that I took of us
Gave you a fright
When I called to say goodnight
I guess that you didn't like
The way I thought I'd be the only one
[Pre-Chorus]
I shoot shots, but they twist your tummy
I'm exposed, now you think I'm nutty
I'm just sad 'cause I tried too hard
Smothered you with love and pushed you away
[Chorus]
I can't help it
Crush instead of giving her space
She can't take it, ooh, and now she's slipping away
I squeeze harder, squeeze until we both suffocate
She's irritated, ooh, and now she's slipping away
[Post-Chorus]
Slipping away, oh
[Outro]
Slipping
Now she's slipping away
Slipping
Slipping
Now she's slipping away

When did L Devine release Slippin Away?
L Devine released Slippin Away on Fri Oct 06 2023.
What have the artists said about the song?
‘Slippin Away’ is my way of taking the piss out of my patterns in relationships. I protect myself a lot in my songwriting by being self-aware and making fun of myself before anyone else can. It’s a tongue-in-cheek love song about smothering someone with love so much that you push them away.

What did L Devine say about "Slippin Away"?
I’ve been talking a lot about humour being a defence mechanism for me around the release of the album. I protect myself in my songwriting by being self aware and taking the piss out of myself before anyone else can. This song is peak L Devine in that way. The guitar solo at the end feels like this c...
