| I remember when you took me on
|
| You spelled it out for me
|
| But it took me too many nights to realize
|
| That we’re in too deep
|
| In the mornings when I leave you there
|
| You’re just the way I like
|
| But it took me too many times to read the lines
|
| Behind your smile
|
| You know when the stakes are high
|
| Then the drop is deep
|
| You know when they race for time
|
| I must hope to stay
|
| Then you’ll just be a number
|
| You’ll just be a number in my book
|
| You’ll just be a number
|
| You’ll just be a number in my book
|
| We’ll be slippin', slippin', slippin'
|
| On this rope that we’re both on
|
| Slippin', slippin', slippin'
|
| On this rope that we’re both on
|
| Can feel the way you look at me
|
| When I turn my back
|
| When I come around you stare at the ground
|
| And put on this mask
|
| You know when the stakes are high
|
| Then the drop is deep
|
| You know when they race for time
|
| I must hope to stay
|
| Then you’ll just be a number
|
| You’ll just be a number in my book
|
| You’ll just be a number
|
| You’ll just be a number in my book
|
| We’ll be slippin', slippin', slippin'
|
| On this rope that we’re both on
|
| Slippin', slippin', slippin'
|
| On this rope that we’re both on
|
| We’ll be slippin', slippin', slippin'
|
| Slippin', slippin', slippin'
|
| Slippin', slippin', slippin'
|
| Slippin', slippin', slippin'
|
| On this rope that we’re both on
|
| We’ll be slippin', slippin', slippin'
|
| Slippin', slippin', slippin'
|
| We’ll be slippin', slippin', slippin'
|
| On this rope that we’re both on |
