Miley Cyrus - Slide Away
[Intro]
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh
[Verse]
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]
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]
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
"Slide Away" delves into the process of accepting the end of a once-promising love story. It speaks to the struggle of letting go of a perfect past and finding the strength to move on. The lyrics express a yearning for simplicity and freedom from the complications that have taken hold. The song ultimately serves as a poignant reminder that even the most beautiful moments can fade away, and that it is necessary to let go in order to find peace and personal growth.
