There you go, slipping away into a state of grace
I know the look that comes across your face
Its so familiar to me
Here I am, trying to keep you in my line of sight
Im never certain that you read me right
Sometimes you dont want to see me

Here we are, both of us know were in love
But that isnt 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 its the world that Im in
Here I am talking while you dont hear a word I say
Knowing youre watching me from far away
Somewhere that Ive never been

Dont you see, you lived a different life than me
It doesnt mean you have to be afraid of how
Were not the same, dont leave me now

But darling there you go, slipping away

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

And darling there you go, slipping away into a state of grace
Drifting away into your sacred place
Someplace that Ive 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...
