Slipping Away
Lyrics
Left the club around a quarter to two
Still got the scent of your sweet perfume
Headlights sweeping on the wet tarmac
Wishing I could ask you to come back
But the phone just sits in the cup holder tray
Too many things that we didn't quite say
You looked at me, then you turned to the door
Are we even us anymore?
I'm just driving through the suburbs now
Trying to figure this out somehow
A soft hum on the radio dial
Thinking of your half-hearted smile
Was it real, or just a late-night phase?
Lost inside this quiet haze...
We’re unresolved, we’re slipping away
Caught in the space between night and day
Breathy whispers in the dashboard light
Did we lose the grip or hold too tight?
It’s a long way back to where we started from
Just a steady beat and a gentle hum
I pull up outside my empty flat
Engine idling, just staring at
The text draft I know I'll never send
Is this a pause or is this the end?
You always spoke in half-finished lines
Leaving me to read between the signs
A cup of cold tea, a key in the lock
Listening to the ticking of the clock
Still just waiting for the phone to glow
Though I already know what I know
A soft hum on the radio dial
Can't forget your half-hearted smile
Was it real, or just a late-night phase?
Lost inside this quiet haze...
We’re unresolved, we’re slipping away
Caught in the space between night and day
Breathy whispers in the dashboard light
Did we lose the grip or hold too tight?
It’s a long way back to where we started from
Just a steady beat and a gentle hum
Did you mean to leave it like this?
Or was it just... a miss?
Just a late-night drive...
Keeps me alive...
