劉德華非常喜愛這首歌曲，表示：“很久沒有唱英文歌，這首英文歌蠻特別的，和以前的歌都不大一樣，英文歌詞本來也比較有難度，既然在片中唱了，就希望鞏俐小姐能喜歡！”《SLIP AWAY》被劉德華稱為“一半寫實一半寫意”，“這首歌的大致情景是我心底藏著秘密，很想向鞏俐坦白，想道歉，但就是鼓不起勇氣，所以這首歌只是寫給她的。”劉德華表示。而他表示最喜歡的一句歌詞是：“IF I COULD I WOULD CHANGE MYYESTERDAY I WOULD LISTEN TO MY HEART(如果可以改變昨天，我願意遵從心的旨意)。”
歌曲歌詞
Every time I look into the mirror of my mind /每當我看見鏡中的自己
I barely recognise the man I see /我都不認識我自己
He used to be a dreamer. He used to be like me /他和我一樣，曾經是個夢想家
But I can see the sadness in his eyes/但我看見他眼裡的悲傷
And he's no longer who I want to be/我想那不是他
If I could I would change my yesterday/如果我可以讓時光倒流
I would listen to my heart and then today/象今天這樣聽到我的心聲
I'd see What true love could be and I won't let tomorrow/我明白什麼是真愛，我不會讓明天溜走
I won't let tomorrow Slip away/我不會讓明天白白溜走
I feel the tide is turning and I'm stranded out at sea/我好像擱淺了，感覺到海水正在向我湧來
Hoping for my rescue to arrive/我希望有救星到來
The clouds have all turned grey And now the waves are crashing in /烏雲漫天，波浪洶湧而至
I thought I could survive but reality has got the better part of me /原以為自己可以倖免，
但現實卻已將我擊敗
If I could I would change my yesterday/如果我可以讓時光倒流
I would listen to my heart and then today/象今天這樣聽到我的心聲
I'd see What true love could be and I won't let tomorrow/我明白什麼是真愛，我不會讓明天溜走
I won't let tomorrow Slip away/我不會讓明天白白溜走
I'll make a promise to myself/我會對自己承諾
That I will live each day just like it was the last time/我每天都會象今天這樣生活
I'll ever see your face again/我什麼時候再見到你
If I could I would change my yesterday/如果我可以讓時光倒流
I would listen to my heart and then today/象今天這樣聽到我的心聲
I'd see What true love could be and I won't let tomorrow/我明白什麼是真愛，我不會讓明天溜走
I won't let tomorrow Slip away/我不會讓明天白白溜走
If I could I would change my yesterday/如果我可以讓時光倒流
I would listen to my heart and then today/象今天這樣聽到我的心聲
I'd see What true love could be and I won't let tomorrow/我明白什麼是真愛，我不會讓明天溜走
