Lyrics
Driftwood
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All I ever wanted was to make you proud of me
Did I study the wrong thing or did I make it too easy?
For all the time spent, wishing for absence
I don't know where I'm going but I'll know eventually
Don't drag me home again
I'll fight for my place in the rain
Remember all the evenings where we could do no wrong
Stayed up all night drinking coffee, and writing all those songs
And now I'm upset, lonely and in debt
I can't stop fucking falling, had my eyes closed all along
There's nothing like a brand new start
To make you lose track of who you are
No warning signs just early starts
I drove all year and didn't get far
No more excuses, this world is ruthless
It's sink or swim because this place is just dragging me down
Don't drag me home again
I'll fight for my place in the rain
I'm done waiting
