Lyrics
Slide away and give it all you’ve got
My today fell in from the top
I dream of you and all the things you say
I wonder where you are now
Hold me down all the world’s asleep
Need you now you’ve knocked me off my feet
I dream of you and we talk of growing old
But you said “Please don’t!”
Slide in baby, together we’ll fly
I’ve tried praying
But I don’t know what you’re saying to me
Now that you’re mine
We’ll find a way
Of chasing the sun
Let me be the one that shines with you
In the morning we don’t know what to do
Two of a kind
We’ll find a way
do what we’ve done
Let me be the one who shines with you
And we can slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Away
Slide away and give it all you’ve got
My today fell in from the top
I dream of you and all the things you say
I wonder where you are now
Slide in baby, together we’ll fly
I’ve tried praying
And I know just what you’re saying to me
Now that you’re mine
We’ll find a way
Of chasing the sun
Let me be the one that shines with you
In the morning we don’t know what to do
We’re two of a kind
We’ll find a way
Do what we’ve done
Oh, let me be the one who shines with you
And we can slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away (and I wanna try now, I wanna make you mine now)
Slide away (and I wanna try now, I wanna make you mine now)
Slide away (and I wanna try now, I wanna make you mine now)
Slide away (and I wanna try now, I wanna make you mine now)
Oohhhh, Ooh-oohhhh!
Oohhhh, Ooh-oohhhh!
(Don’t know, don’t care
All I know is you can take me there)
(Don’t know, don’t care
All I know is you can take me there) Slide away
(Don’t know, don’t care
All I know is you can take me there) Slide away
(Don’t know, don’t care
All I know is you can take me there) Slide away
(Don’t know, don’t care
All I know is you can take me there) Slide away
(Take me there, take me there, take me there) Slide away
(Take me there, take me there, all I know is you can take me there) Slide away
(Take me there, take me there, take me there) Slide away
(Take me there) slide away (take me there) slide away (take me there) Slide away
