Slide Away Lyrics – Miley Cyrus
Slide Away Lyrics
[Intro: Miley Cyrus]
Woo-oh, woo-oh, woo-oh
Woo-oh, woo-oh, woo-oh
[Verse: Miley Cyrus]
Once upon a time, it was paradise
Once upon a time, I was paralyzed
Think I'm gonna miss these harbor lights
But it's time to let it go
Once upon a time, it was made for us
Woke up one day, it had turned to dust
Baby, we were found, but now we're lost
So it's time to let it go
[Pre-Chorus: Miley Cyrus]
I want my house in the hills
Don't want the whiskey and pills
I don't give up easily
But I don't think I'm down
[Chorus: Miley Cyrus]
So won't you slide away?
Back to the ocean, I'll go back to the city lights
So won't you slide away?
Back to the ocean, la-la-la, you'll slide away
So won't you slide away?
Back to the ocean, I'll go back to the city lights
So won't you slide away?
Back to the ocean, la-la-la, you'll slide away
[Verse Reprise: Miley Cyrus]
Once upon a time, it was paradise
Once upon a time, I was paralyzed
Think I'm gonna miss these harbor lights
But it's time to let it go
Once upon a time, it was made for us (For us)
Woke up one day, it had turned to dust
Baby, we were found, but now we're lost
So it's time to let it go
[Pre-Chorus: Miley Cyrus]
Move on, we're not seventeen
I'm not who I used to be
You say that everything changed
You're right, we're grown now
[Chorus: Miley Cyrus]
So won't you slide away?
Back to the ocean, I'll go back to the city lights
So won't you slide away?
Back to the ocean, la-la-la, you'll slide away
So won't you slide away?
Back to the ocean, I'll go back to the city lights
So won't you slide away?
Back to the ocean, la-la-la, you'll slide away
[Outro: Miley Cyrus]
Move on, we're not seventeen
I'm not who I used to be
You say that everything changed
You're right, we're grown now
