Before it Slips Away

Sometimes you feel let down
We try to turn it back around
Like a hundred times before
Well we try to keep it real
To tell each other how we feel
But still anxious to the core

Maybe we should take some time
Understand what's to believe in all this stuff
Is it just passion is it love
As confusion takes our minds
Though I feel we're hand in glove
Standing here wondering still it that's enough

Let's forget the mistakes
Let's use all the best takes
Let's forget the rest
Before it slips away
Let's forget what's been said
Let's move forward instead
We can pass the test
Before it slips away

Now can we leave sad days behind
And try to make the best of times
'Cause they're precious and they're few
Well my heart is feeling weak
As I try to dream for hours the night away
Searching to stop this game we play
And I know it's seeming bleak
As we're nearing judgment day
While I'm trying to hold on to us
So we don't fade

Let's forget the mistakes
Let's use all the best takes
Let's forget the rest
Before it slips away
Let's forget what's been said
Let's move forward instead
We can pass the test
Before it slips away
