Slippin Away
Chasing Shadows of Love: The Band of Brothas' Melodic Journey
Lyrics
Back when we were catching a vibe
Reflecting on a time when things were enjoyable and carefree.
Things were cool, no pressures in sight
Describing a period without stress or challenges.
Feelings changed outta blue sky
Expressing a sudden change in emotions or circumstances.
I used to daydream rings in ya eyes
Recalling a romantic vision or fantasy.
Thoughts of giving you a lifetime
Contemplating a long-term commitment to the relationship.
Now I'm stuck tryna read what's on ya mind
Feeling stuck and uncertain about the partner's thoughts.
I wished upon a dream of you came and made my sins come true
Having hopeful dreams about the partner making wishes come true.
I will never meet another love quite like you
Expressing a unique and irreplaceable love for the partner.
We spoke of love a time or ten
Recalling discussions about love multiple times.
Now I can make no promises that I'm gone be here til the end with you
Acknowledging an inability to guarantee a lasting commitment.
Tell me can we go back, back to the day when I first met you
Expressing a desire to return to the initial meeting with the partner.
Back when things were simple, move at our own tempo and it was all cool
Nostalgic for a simpler time when the relationship was easygoing.
AH AH AH
(AH AH AH)
Things were making sense more, never questioned love now I'm all confused
Feeling confused as love becomes more complicated.
Feels like we're giving up, slipping away
Sensing the relationship is deteriorating and slipping away.
Listen
(Listen)
We used to lose track of all of our time piece
Recalling times when they lost track of time.
We used to be making love in between the sheets
Remembering intimate moments between the sheets.
Now I'm just used to you wildin on me
Noting a change in the partner's behavior.
Feels like 3,000 miles between these 3 feet, DAMN
Expressing a sense of distance and disconnection.
So much for time, if I could I'd rewind all the faults that were mine and
Expressing regret and a desire to undo past mistakes.
Go a different route, like a detour through your psyche
Considering a different approach to understand the partner.
And make you like me all over again
Desiring to rekindle the initial attraction.
Can we go back on a throwback, like a hashtag
Referencing a nostalgic return to the past, using a throwback metaphor.
To the day at where we met at, those butterflies in ya front pack? Yeah you felt that
Recalling the initial attraction and excitement.
Touch the soul to the core so we can get back to before
Yearning to reconnect on a deeper level.
All the perils of love tried to destroy what we was
Acknowledging challenges that tested the relationship.
I never wanted to change you, I just wanted to grow
Expressing a desire for personal growth within the relationship.
I guess you can't help it when your indifference it starts to show
Noting signs of the partner's changing attitude.
But I'm willing to stick it out if we give it a go
Expressing commitment to overcoming challenges if both are willing.
Sweetie I'm down for the ride, you just gotta let me know
Expressing readiness to navigate the ups and downs together.
Tell me can we go back, back to the day when I first met you
Reiterating the desire to return to the initial meeting.
Back when things were simple, move at our own tempo and it was all cool
Nostalgic for the simplicity of the past relationship.
AH AH AH
(AH AH AH)
Things were making sense more, never questioned love now I'm all confused
Expressing confusion and uncertainty in the current state of love.
Feels like we're giving up, slipping away
Sensing the relationship slipping away and coming to an end.
