Slipping From The Arms by Nate In Public
Slipping From The Arms lyrics
Well I remember being young and lying out in the grass,
And every hour burned a deeper rose across my chest.
Now I�m just an anchor tied to a riverboat,
And I can slow it all I want but the river goes where it goes.
And when you were young, you dreamt about the day you�d be wed.
Oh, and how you�d tell your friends and family about how you had met.
But the cloud flew right out of your porch summer window,
And now I miss you more, the more about that we grow.
I put my feet on the ground and carry myself home.
Yeah, I bury them in stone. I am still here though you�ve gone.
And after all is said and done,
The battle still finds us
Beneath an element of Christ,
The curving lens of science.
I step into the pattern of some new pair of lungs.
Well my hands they start to shake when I�m near anyone.
I put my feet on the ground.
An ankle-length of chain takes all balance away.
I can�t leave here in this state.
And eyes that once saw you clear,
Fill up now without you here.
Can I keep composure as I fall back through the atmosphere?
Oh, through all the gaseous, empty space believe me now �
We�re coming home.
