SLOW DRIFT

Lyrics

I don’t live here anymore, but I wish it could be like before
And there was something there, if only smoke in the air
Won’t bring it back again, can’t get it out of my head
And the melody is just a memory, I play

Cause I don’t live here anymore, but gravity’s hard to ignore
Fall for it every time, couldn’t I read the signs
Guess I'll leave it there, feel the chill in the air
Reminding me, it’s just a fantasy, not the way it is

I try to stay awake for you
More than I could take
If I’m just passing through
I try to stay awake
Staring at the flame
It’s not the same

I don’t live here anymore, so how could you darken my door
But there’s a presence there, perfume in the air
Try to play it down, try not to say it aloud
Living a lie, you can’t capture the light the way it is

I try to stay awake for you
More than I could contain
When you're just passing through
I try to stay awake
Staring at the flame
Burning everything
I didn't say
