Song lyrics

Send "Slide" ringtones to your cell

Could you whisper in my ear 
The things you wanna feel 
I'll 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 

Chorus: 
I wanna wake up where you are 
I won't say anything at all 
So why don't you slide 

Yeah we're gonna let it slide 

Don't you love the life you killed 
The priest is on the phone 
Your father hit the wall 
Your ma disowned you 

Don't suppose I'll ever know 
What it means to be a man 
If there's something I can't change 
I'll live around it 

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 

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 

Chorus 

And I'll do anything you ever 
Dreamed to be complete 
Little pieces of the nothing that fall 

And I'll do anything you ever 
Dreamed to be complete 
Little pieces of the nothing that fall 

Oh Oh Oh slide 
(Just slide between the sheets of all the beds you never knew) 
Yeah slide 
Why don't you slide into my room 
Just slide into my room 
And we'll run away, run away, run away

143 posts	i absolutely love Iris, but Slide is really good too. Black Balloon is better than Slide, but not as good as Iris. Acustic #3 beats all. Of course, there's no such thing as a Goo Goo Dolls song i don't like.

27 posts	It's hard to believe that a song as tummy warming is about an abortion. I mean "Oh May, put your arms around me, what you feel is what you are and what you are is beautiful" it makes me go all squirmy and want someone like that. But then "Don't you love the life you killed" makes you realise...

347 posts	Yeah, it's awesome..I didn't know it was about abortion..

16 posts	it seems like only one part even relates to abortion.. "don't you love the life you killed the priest is on the phone your father hit the wall your ma disowned you" i guess i can see that as abortion-like but..i dont know...the rest just seems happy and romantic.. is there just something wrong with me?

108 posts	i always took slide to be like a song about two lovers who were about to get married, and then the girl ran away... i dunno, maybe its just my overreactive imagination, lol, but look: Don’t you love the life you killed The priest is on the phone Your father hit the wall Your ma disowned you about how when she ran off, everyone was real disappointed, etc etc, and then: Don’t suppose I’ll ever know What it means to be a man Something I can’t change I’ll live around it he won't ever get to hear, "ur now man and wife" sorta thing, so he wont ever know waht its like to be a man. so then the song continues with the guy persuing the girl and singin in the song about how much he loves her etc etc... i dnt wanna make this into an essay cos im sure u guys already know the song well enough!! well, those wer my thoughts. daz. xxx
