There you go, slipping away into a state of grace I know the look that comes across your face It's so familiar to me Here i am, trying to keep you in my line of sight I'm never certain that you read me right Sometimes you don't want to see me Here we are, both of us know we're in love But that isn't always enough I never could rise above it all, down i fall But darling there you go, slipping away into a state of grace Granted, this world is not a perfect place Still it's the world that i'm in Here i am talking while you don't hear a word i say Knowing you're watching me from far away Somewhere that i've never been
Don't you see, you lived a different life than me It doesn't mean you have to be afraid of how We're not the same, don't leave me now But darling there you go, slipping away How can i get you to stay where you are Keep you from going too far Holding you here is so hard to do...i'm losing you And darling there you go, slipping away into a state of grace Drifting away into your sacred place Someplace that i've never been There you go, slipping away, slipping away into a state of grace There you go, slipping away into a state of grace There you go...drifting away...
