Slip
Music and Lyrics by Rachel Farris©2004

Heart’s still beating, barely dreaming again
I’m still waiting
One of us bound to give in
I’m not leaving
You’re just barely holding on
But it feels like you are fifty-times as strong

If my back was turned and I lost my grip
Would you let me fall, let me slip
or hold on
Would you hold on
If I was dying of thirst would you let me sip
From the very cup you pull from your lip
Oh come on
Won’t you come on

It’s not working
I’m still pleading with you
Can’t you give me
What I’m begging of you
You’re not funny
You’re just taking your time
While I’m struggling
Just to hold you with my mind, my mind

Silly me, I forget
You’re the one whose lips
Are barely ever wet
Silly me, you’ll never tire
I couldn’t see you till I looked a little higher
You will bless me yet
You will bless me I bet
You will bless me yet
You will bless me I bet

If my back was turned and I lost my grip
You wouldn’t let me fall, let me slip
You hold on
You always hold on
If I was dying of thirst you would let me sip
From the very cup you pour from your lip
Oh come on
Won’t you come on
