Alejandro Escovedo Slip lyrics

Sometimes my friend she knocks
Sometimes she just crashes in
She'll tell a joke or two then she waits
Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry, I don't hear a thing
Sometimes she just gets bored and leaves

Hey you, won't you come and sit with me?
I never promised anything
I just need for you to slip away with me

I try to read between the lines, she won't say a thing
I climb the walls for a better view
I turn my head and call her name, she won't look my way
I climb the walls for a better view

Hey you, won't you come and drink with me?

I haven't broken anything
I just need for you to slip away with me

Sometimes my friend she knocks
Sometimes she just stumbles in
She'll tell a joke or two then she waits
Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we try, we don't feel a thing
I climb the walls for a better view

Hey you, won't you come hold on to me?
It's not the answer to anything
I just need for you to slip away with me
