Back in my old home town
There were long summer days
And there were leaves on the ground

And it was too cold to play

The citys colder than cold

Its faceless and gray
And all the dreams that you hold
Keep slippin away


Chorus:
Slippin away, slippin away

Little by little, day by day
Slippin away, slippin away
Little by little and day by day


I saw an old friend of mine
Asked if he was ok

And he said everythings fine
But his eyes filled with pain


Yeah, he had nothin to lose
He had nothin to say
He feels worn out and used

And slippin away

Chorus


Better put up a fight
Start right here today

Its time you start right
Before you just slip away
