Slipping Through My Fingers

Song: Slipping Through My Fingers

Artist: Benjamin Francis Leftwich

I've always felt like life was slipping through my fingers

So I've always loved like I was running out of time

Since I was a kid, I've been all weird and worried a lot

Guess I did my best to escape until I forgot

It's nothing like the movies

It's nothing like you think

You'll find me at the party

Crying at the sink

I know about that broken feeling when you say

"What a time to be alive"

To be alive, hummingbird

I've always dreamt of picket fence and perfect teeth

I had no reason to believe in make believe

But I know about those mornings

That crying in the car

You swore you wouldn't do it

But you dived in after dark

It's really just a rebound

It's clearly just the space

Where you hide to feel alive

Feel alive, hummingbird

Picture's imperfect

But it never shows

I'm playing the part I've always known

To look alive

To look alive, hummingbird

To look alive

To look alive, hummingbird
