[Verse 1]
Could you whisper in my ear?
The things you wanna feel
I'd give you anything
To feel it comin'
Do you wake up on your own
And wonder where you are?
You live with all your faults
[Bridge]
I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide?
Yeah, I'm gonna let it slide
[Verse 2]
Don't you love the life you killed?
The priest is on the phone
Your father hit the wall
Your ma disowned you
I don't suppose I'll ever know
What it means to be a man
Or something I can just change
I live around it
[Bridge]
I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide
Ooh, slide
[Chorus]
And I'll do anything you ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
Oh, May
Put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh, May
Do you wanna get married
Or run away?
[Instrumental Interlude]
Ooh-oo, oohoo
[Chorus]
And I'll do anything you ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall
Oh, May
Put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh, May
Do you wanna get married
Or run away?
[Bridge]
I wanna wake up where you are
And I won't say anything
[Chorus]
(Yeah, slide)
And I'll do anything you ever dreamed to be complete
(Yeah, slide)
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
Ohh, May
(Yeah, slide)
[Chorus]
(Yeah, slide)
And I'll do anything you ever dreamed to be complete
(Yeah, slide)
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
Ohh ohh, oh May
[Outro]
Yeah, slide between the sheets
Of all them beds you never knew
(Yeah, slide)
Why don't you slide into my room
Just slide into my room
And ah we'll run away
Run away, run away
Could you whisper in my ear?
The things you wanna feel
I'd give you anything
To feel it comin'
Do you wake up on your own
And wonder where you are?
You live with all your faults
[Bridge]
I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide?
Yeah, I'm gonna let it slide
[Verse 2]
Don't you love the life you killed?
The priest is on the phone
Your father hit the wall
Your ma disowned you
I don't suppose I'll ever know

[Bridge]
I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide
Ooh, slide
[Chorus]
And I'll do anything you ever dreamed to be complete

Put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are

Oh, May

Run away, run away
