[Verse 1]
I know you're lost feeling on your own
But we can slip away to the southern coast
A one-stop shop to a world of brighter days
I can't stop sinking when I want to float
Oh, we can slip away to the southern coast
And find the lives we felt too scared to save
[Chorus]
Why are things that hurt us always hardest to leave?
And why do our true feelings always hide up our sleeves?
I love you, I do
There ain't nothing new
Let's just slip away, we got nothing to lose
[Verse 2]
The noose getting tighter when you're on the rope
But we can slip away to the southern coast
The wholе town wondering where wе could've gone
The cops ain't around, no one on patrol
Oh, we can slip away to the southern coast
Only God can tell us right from wrong
[Chorus]
So why are things that hurt us always hardest to leave?
And why do our true feelings always hide up our sleeves?
I love you, I do
There ain't nothing new
Let's just float away 'cause we got nothing to lose
[Verse 3]
Lost what you had when you needed most
Oh, we can slip away to the southern coast
Never have to worry 'bout before
Be one with the river and let it flow
Oh, we can slip away to the southern coast
No such thing as time after all
[Chorus]
So why are things that hurt us always hardest to leave?
And why do our true feelings always hide up our sleeves?
I love you, I do
There ain't nothing new
Let's just slip away, we got nothing to lose
