There you go, slipping away into a state of grace
I know the look that comes across your face
It´s so familiar to me
Here I am, trying to keep you in my line of sight
I´m never certain that you read me right

Sometimes you don´t want to see
Here we are, both of us know we´re in love
But that isn´t always enough
I never could rise above it all, down I fall

But darling there you go, slipping away into a state of grace
Granted, this world is not a perfect place
Still it´s the world that I´m in
Here I am talking while you don´t hear a word I say
Knowing you´re watching me from far away
Somewhere that I´ve never been

Don´t you see, you lived a different life than me
It doesn´t mean you have to be afraid of how
We´re not the same, don´t leave me now

But darling there you go, slipping away

How can I get you to stay where you are
Keep you for going too far
Holding you here is so hard to do...I´m losing you

And darling there you go, slipping away into a state of grace
Drifting away into your sacred place
Someplace that I´ve never been
There you go, slipping away, slipping away, into a state of grace
There you go, slipping away into a state of grace
There you go...drifting away...
