Sliding Lyrics

When I was young I was in love with everyone I saw

I was a green hill in the sun I was in love with everyone

Now every evening the ashes fall

It's like I'm living on the foothills of a volcano

It's on my windshield it's on my clothes

It's on the shoes I left outside my door

I am loving, but I am unkind

I am living, but I'm barely scraping by

And it always feels like the storm has just arrived

Sliding into the river every night

Now I have valleys and the canyons are

So deep there are parts the sun never saw

So deep there are parts that are always dark

It's so dangerous down there so close to my heart

And when a piece of me crumbles in the middle of the night

I slide into town, disrupt a life

I take whole families with me, whole houses get torn

They are absorbed by my heartache, they join the storm

I am loving, but I am unkind

I am living, but I'm barely scraping by

And it always feels like the storm has just arrived

Sliding into the river every night

So I go out walking, trying to feel alright

Try to find someplace cool

Try to find someplace quiet

And I climb down concrete that's just been washed by the rain

I see the river, I hear the train

And I was easy to climb, you could see the top

You could picture yourself resting easy on my heart

Then the sun was always touching every part

Of that green hill

Yeah, I was easy to climb you could see the top

You could picture yourself resting easy on my heart

And the sun was always touching every part

Of that green hill

I am loving, but I am unkind

I am living, but I'm barely scraping by

And it always feels like the storm has just arrived

Sliding into the river every night

Sliding into the river every night

Sliding into the river every night
