So take your time
I wonder if you're here just to use my mind
Don't take it slow 
You know I've got a place to go
You always do that
Something I'm not quite sure of
But just for today
Let go and slide away

I was thinking maybe we could go outside 
Let the night sky cool your foolish pride
Don't you feel alive 
These are your times and our highs

So take your time
I wonder which cup you'll drink from
I hope it's mine
Because you always do that something
Something I'm not quite sure of
But just for today
Let go and slide away

'Cause I read your mind
I read it because it takes me where I can't find
Because you always do that something
Something I'm not quite sure of
But just for today
Let go and burn away

I was thinking maybe we could go outside 
Let the night sky cool your foolish pride
Don't you feel alive 
These are your times, these are your highs

Slide away, burn away
Slide away, burn away
I read your mind
I read your mind
'Cause it takes me to where I can't find

I was thinking maybe we could go outside 
Let the night sky cool your foolish pride
Don't you feel alive 
These are your times and our highs

Maybe, maybe we could go outside 
Let the night sky cool your foolish pride
Open up you feel alive 
These are your times and my highs

It also endured name and line-up changes, break-ups, health problems, drug abuse and various lawsuits. Filter referred to them as "one of the tightest knit, yet ultimately volatile bands in history". The band's commercial breakthrough was the 1997 album Urban Hymns, one of the best-selling albums in UK Chart history, and the single "Bitter Sweet Symphony", which became … more »
