Slip Away Lyrics
Mumford & Sons
Lyrics
No more questions, no more lies
Do and deal for no surprises
But you will never slip away
Slip away in the night
Waiting patient for the sun to rise
In reveals a stoic smile
But you will never slip away
Slip away in the night
You find me waiting here for you
Come and suffer here
You find me holding my breath for you
Come and suffer here
In the violence of a mind's eye
We had a deal for no surprises
But you will never slip away
Slip away in the night
But you're not yourself
I know you better than you
And you're not yourself
I know you better than you
You find me holding my breath for you
It's never more than I can take
I wouldn't have it any other way
You find me on my knees for you
It's never more than I can take
I wouldn't have it any other way
Don't you lie down
Be still in love
Don't you leave now
Be still in love
Don't you leave now
Be still
You find me holding my breath for you
It's never more than I can take
I wouldn't have it any other way
You find me on my knees for you
It's never more than I can take
I wouldn't have it any other way
But you're not yourself
I know you better than you
And you're not yourself
I know you better than you
