Sunday School & Cigarettes (Slippin’ Away)

I've been lost in way back when
In clothes I'll never wear again
Ponytails and paper planes
Climbing up the tall trees
Thinking back to hide and seek
Everyday seemed like weeks
Sunday school and cigarettes
And kissing at the movies

And now it's hard 'cause
I really felt like time was moving slowly
But I found out it was only
Slippin' away
Slippin' away
Slippin' away
Slippin' away
Yeah

One day I found myself with you
So all my girlhood dreams come true
Still there's other dreams, nothing lasts forever
I put braids into my hair
But you don't seem to see them there
And in your mind I think, you're off to California

And it's hard 'cause
I really thought that I was in your vision
Starry eyes, I see that you've been
Slippin' away
Slippin' away
Slippin' away
Slippin' away
Yeah

We are water
We are the sand
The wind goes on before we're here
We are gone
Gone
Gone

And so it turns in simple ways
Now the weeks go by like days
Where's that little girl
She's gone and so forgotten

And it's strange 'cause
I truly thought that change was nowhere near me
And all the time, I was really
Slippin' away
Slippin' away
I'm slippin' away
I'm slippin' away
I'm slippin' away
Slippin' away
I'm slippin' away
Slippin' away
Yeah
