Let You Slip

Two colors faded in To one sunset You were always holding me up I guess it never came up In conversation now I'm reassessing those situations They say youth is wasted on the young ones But who's to say when your youth is done Just take it easy, take it slow Gauged earlobes, artisan soap Records lined up wall to wall Myspace photos, menthol Rhotos You were dancing in the hall I couldn't feel you right there with me Clouded by the smoke and poetry I let you slip into the sea Hung over Sunday, Harvey Milk on Monday Worried I was leading you on Tortas Thursday, I just said, "Sure, stay." You knew I just couldn't hold on I couldn't feel you right there with me Clouded by the smoke and poetry I let you slip into the sea I wasn't strong enough then For the kind of man You were shaping up to be Years spent apart When I broke my own heart. Now, I'm humbled Now, I see I couldn't feel you right there with me Clouded by the smoke and poetry I let you slip into the sea I let you slip into the sea I let you slip
