Discover the story of the song > Slip Slidin’ Away – Rita Wilson

The song talks about how life can feel like we're losing grip and slowly falling apart, even when we think we're headed towards our goals. The first verse tells the story of a man who's so in love that he's afraid he'll disappear, and the second verse is about a woman who wishes things had turned out differently. The chorus repeats that the closer we get to where we want to be, the more we feel like we're sliding backwards. The last verse reminds us that we can't control everything, and sometimes life just slips away from us.
