lyrics

THERE’S A RING ON YOUR FINGER,
AND IT KEEPS SLIPPIN’ DOWN.
’TIL IT FALLS IN ANGRY CIRCLES,
TO THE TABLE, TO THE GROUND.
LIKE THE HALO SHININ’ BRIGHTLY,
OVER MY HEAD, OVER MY HEAD,
IT’S SLIPPIN’ DOWN.

ARE YOU TIRED OF ALL MY SHADOWS,
THEY JUST KEEP SLIPPIN’ ’ROUND.
CAN WE MAKE LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED,
CAN WE SLEEP, SAFE AND SOUND.
HAVE I BURNED DARKENED PICTURES,
INTO YOUR HEAD, IN YOUR HEAD,
I’M SLIPPIN’ DOWN.

WE CAN TURN FROM THE FIRE AND WALK AWAY.
WE CAN STOP SAYIN’ BABY IT’S TOO LATE.
‘CAUSE I KNOW WE’VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES.
I DON’T KNOW HOW, BUT RIGHT NOW,
I’M SLIPPIN’ DOWN.

CAN I FIND YOUR DEVOTION,
THAT I SENT SLIPPIN’ DOWN.
MAY I FOLLOW IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS,
FOR SOME TIME, ’TIL IT’S FOUND.
TAKE THE SORROW THAT I’VE GIVEN,
FROM MY HAND, FROM MY HAND,
YOU’RE SLIPPIN’ DOWN.

WE CAN TURN FROM THE FIRE AND WALK AWAY.
WE CAN STOP SAYIN‘ BABY IT’S TOO LATE.
‘CAUSE I KNOW WE’VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES.
I DON’T KNOW HOW, BUT RIGHT NOW,
I’M SLIPPIN’ DOWN.
I DON’T KNOW HOW, BUT RIGHT NOW,
I’M SLIPPIN’ DOWN.
I DON’T KNOW HOW, BUT RIGHT NOW,
I’M SLIPPIN’ DOWN.
