Slips Away (feat. Jason Schwartzman)

Who has it worse? The new guy? The old guy? Who thinks about who more? Maybe I lost my touch Maybe I took just a little too much All I ever wanted to know We were born with nothing at all Chomping at the bit for attention Going for the gold And it was right for a minute there It slips away Oh it slips away And we pray that it won't show It slips away Oh it slips away And no matter how tight we hold There it goes... You were just joking around When I started spiraling down And history repeats All things beautiful fade Needed someone naive to go save Get you back on your feet And it was right for a minute there Must have been some kind of mixup I shouldn't be here It slips away Oh it slips away And we pray that it won't show It slips away Oh it slips away And no matter how tight we hold There it goes... There is some statistic about the number of lifeguards Who died trying to save someone Apparently, the victim would push the lifeguard Under water and hold them there In order to stay above the surface Ultimately leading to their demise I thought about that a lot last summer Driving past your house by accident How I'm dead How you killed me somehow I did everything I could To be some extreme version of myself Shots in the dark trying to be someone You could stand to sleep next to Or something ridiculous like that Who has it worse? The new guy? The old guy? Who thinks about who more?
