Truth & Fiction (2008)
 
Slips Away (Rob Lutes/Dale Boyle)
This drive-in’s sure seen better days
But they still take my eight bucks to see that late movie play
The storylines always stay the same
The second I reach for something it slips away

With a six-pack hidden down on the floor
And you right there beside me, I never needed anything more
That plot’s not supposed to go astray
But the second I reach for something it slips away

BRIDGE
The unlikely guy, he gets the girl
The lost puppy comes home and the hero saves the world
Romantic people want to believe it’s that way
But when the credits roll so many hearts fade to grey

I’ll take nothing from your final scene
Snapped your gum, looked at him, and then you walked off my screen
My life is an upside down Hollywood cliché
The second I reach for something it slips away
