Lyrics for Slide Away by Miley Cyrus

[introduction]

Woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh.

Woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh.

[verse 1]

Once upon a time, it was paradise.

Once upon a time, I was paralyzed.

I think I'm going to miss these harbor lights.

But it's time to let it go.

Once upon a time, it was made for us.

I woke up one day, it had turned to dust.

Baby they found us, but now we're lost.

So it's time to let it go.

This verse can be analyzed in this Miley Cirus interview.

[pre chorus]

I want my house in the hills.

I don't want the whiskey and the pills.

I don't give up easily.

But I don't think I'm down.

Analysis: In previous days, some media published that Liam Hemsworth had alcohol problems, but the sources were never reliable. Will this verse be a confirmation of that?

[chorus]

So won't you slide.

Back to the ocean, I'll go back to the city lights.

So won't you slide.

Back to the ocean, la-la-la, you'll slide.

So won't you slide.

Back to the ocean, I'll go back to the city lights.

So won't you slide.

Back to the ocean, la-la-la, you'll slide.

[verse 2]

Once upon a time, it was paradise.

Once upon a time, I was paralyzed.

I think I'm going to miss these harbor lights.

But it's time to let it go.

Once upon a time, it was made for us.

I woke up one day, it had turned to dust.

Baby they found us, but now we're lost.

So it's time to let it go.

Analysis: The relationship that lasted approximately 10 years was always involved in conflict situations and the desire to continue their careers, however, this verse seems to indicate that love finally came to an end.

[pre chorus]

Keep going we ain't 17.

I'm not who I used to be.

You say everything changed.

You're right, we have grown up now.

[chorus]

So won't you slide.

Back to the ocean, I'll go back to the city lights.

So won't you slide.

Back to the ocean, la-la-la, you'll slide.

So won't you slide.

Back to the ocean, I'll go back to the city lights.

So won't you slide.

Back to the ocean, la-la-la, you'll slide.

[outro]

Keep going we ain't 17.

I'm not who I used to be.

You say everything changed.

You're right, we've grown up now Miley Cyrus.
