Slip Lyrics by Ellevator
I washed up, you reigned me in
A mess of hair, all sea and skin
You held my hands, you towed the line
To your canvas tent in your net of twine
You lit fires all down the beach
They swam for miles to hear you teach
Your silver tongue, your crystal crown
All these idle things that weigh you down
Loosen your grip on me and let me slip away
I want out of your hands, I want out of your heart
Loosen your grip on me and let me slip away
I want out of your hands, I want out of your heart
The sun burnt hot, the land ran dry
You kept us there, said you would provide
Your sweet voice sang, hands lifted high
But your songs don’t move me so much as the tide
Loosen your grip on me and let me slip away
I want out of your hands, I want out of your heart
Loosen your grip on me and let me slip away
I want out of your hands, I want out of your heart
Come to the water
Where you stole me
Down to the water
Just like you told me
Wash in the water
It makes you holy
Under the water
Till you can’t breathe
Loosen your grip on me and let me slip away
I want out of your hands, I want out of your heart
Loosen your grip on me and let me slip away
I want out of your hands, I want out of your heart
Loosen your grip on me and let me slip away
I want out of your hands, I want out of your heart
Loosen your grip on me and let me slip away
I want out of your hands, I want out of your heart
I want out of your heart
I want out of your heart
