How It Slips

V1

Caught myself in the hallway mirror

Purple eyes and lines of fear

10 years ago was a whole other life

Growing old and shrinking time

How it slips through my fingertips

V2

Have a kid they barely see

How they live is strange to me

10 years from now they’ll look back and find

The kid’s a man and they’re out of time

How it slips through their fingertips

V3

Your skin is old, to me it’s new

As radiant as you’ve been true

A year from now I might just be dead

I say this here so it’s been said

How you slipped through my fingertips

OUT

How it slips through my fingertips
