Slipping Away
Third Approach Lyrics

We've already let it slip away
It's hard to see ahead to better days

Running around in circles again
Is wasting all our good intentions
Making the same mistakes all again
The same familiar hole we're stuck in
In spite of yourself, believe someone else
Ignore the conscience, feel unconscious
Go through the motions comes at a cost You'll never know exactly what you lost

We've already let it slip away
It's hard to see ahead to better days
Trampled on the beaten path
What they take away you can't get back
Can't get it back

Look on the surface, everything's perfect
Masked behind the underlying
Problems avoided, what's the solution?
Temporary gratification
Hope you like your new surroundings
Everything you ever wanted
Not what you thought and now you're surrounded
Put your hands up in the air
Hands up in the air

We've already let it slip away
It's hard to see ahead to better days
Trampled on the beaten path
What they take away you can't get back
We've already let it slip away
It's hard to see ahead to better days
Trampled on the beaten path
What they take away you can't get back
Can't get it back

Hardened by another day
Now it's gone and slipped away
Point the finger, lay the blame
Yet it all remains the same
When they're pointing back at you
Seems so hard to take the truth
It's what you do with who you are
That breaks you down, sets you apart
Hardened by another day
Now it's gone and slipped away
Point the finger, lay the blame
Yet it all remains the same
When they're pointing back at you
Seems so hard to take the truth
It's what you do with who you are
That breaks you down

We've already let it slip away
It's hard to see ahead to better days
Trampled on the beaten path
What they take away you can't get back
We've already let it slip away
It's hard to see ahead to better days
Trampled on the beaten path
What they take away you can't get back
Can't get it back
