Lyrics
Slippin Away Kristjan / 1995
Well you're done with school and you get a job
Settle down with the girl you love
Buy a house, Lease a car
Stashing loose change in your cookie jar
The days go by and your family grows
No time or money, that's the way it goes
Nobody told you that your life would change
Or how your life list would be re-arranged
That's the sound of your time Slippin Away
Before you know it everything's on hold
All your dreams are starting to un-fold
All your dreams you kept inside your head
Make way for something else instead
That's the sound of your time Slippin Away
That's the sound of your time Slippin Away
Things don't work out, the way you planned
Easily sidetracked by the job at hand
But deep down you know it's true
There's something else you'd rather do
Don't get me wrong, I love my life
I love my family, and I love my wife
I just think there's something more I could be
It ain't you and it ain't me
That's the sound of your time Slippin Away
Just the sound of your time Slippin Away
That's the sound of your time Slippin Away
That's the sound of your time Slippin Away
