Toby Sussex - Life Slips Lyrics

When I'm given time, I waste it
When I need it, it's gone
I guess that you could call it weather dependence
Cause it's just a game of whether or not

Life slips between our fingertips
Shall we sit and watch it burn?
We've all got places that we'd rather be
Yeah, this might be the death of me
Cause we don't have eternity, no

Wake up, put on the makeup
Put down on paper that this time's gonna go different
Show up, put on the show, love
And be a grown-up
Initiate your filter faking
Be like the rest of us, pretend there's no mess and shove
All your toys and all your noise way under the bed bunk
Lean into the cycle
Then you'll become a disciple of content overdependence
Then shut up and start all over

Life slips between our fingertips
Shall we sit and watch it burn?
We've all got places that we'd rather be
Yeah this might be the death of me
Cause we don't have eternity, no

Do you feel it now? Can you see it?
Where do we go?
Do you feel it now? Can you see it?
Where do we go?
(Life slips between our fingertips)

Life slips between our fingertips
And I don't wanna watch it burn
We've all got places that we'd rather be
Yeah, this might be the death of me
Cause we don't have eternity, no

Life slips between our fingertips
And I don't wanna watch it burn
We've all got places that we'd rather be
And people that we'd rather meet
Cause we don't have eternity, no
