[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
We'll be slippin', slippin', slippin'
Slippin', slippin', slippin'
Slippin', slippin', slippin'
Slippin', slippin', slippin'
On this rope that we're both on
[Chorus 2]
We'll be slippin', slippin', slippin'
Slippin', slippin', slippin'
We'll be slippin', slippin', slippin'
On this rope that we're both on
