Lyrics of
Slide

Slide, written by John Rzeznik, deals with a young couple facing an unplanned pregnancy, weighing their options between abortion and marriage. It is among Goo Goo Dolls most famous songs, addressing sensitive topics thoughtfully.

Could you whisper in my ear
The things you wanna feel
I'd give you anythin'
To feel it comin'
Do you wake up on your own
And wonder where you are?
You live with all your faults
: (gtr 1)
So why don't you slide
Yeah, I'm 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 supposed I'll ever know
What it means to be a man
It's somethin' I can't change
I'll live around it
So why don't you slide
Ooh, slide
And I'll do anything
You ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothin 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?
Then continue the C and G then it goes back to the intr riff again to a fade. So
