Adrift
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.
We fall into the ocean
We're breathin' under water
Don't know where we're going
But don't you think we oughta
Find land, find land, dry land
I'm following behind you
Moving in slow motion
Searching for a rescue
Something to put hope in
Find land, find land, dry land
My heart is tired, it can't go on
Fighting waves that are too strong
Been tossed around and beaten by the sea
Of you and me, we've both jumped ship
We're adrift
How do we drain an ocean
Is there a secret at the bottom
A door that we can open
A nozzle or a faucet
To let out, to let out
To get out
Every night i watch the sunset
Does it sink as fast as i do
How does it hold its last breath
Through the loneliness of solitude
Through the dark, in the dark, when it's dark
My heart is tired, it can't go on
Fighting waves that are too strong
Been tossed around and beaten by the sea
Of you and me, we've both jumped ship
We're adrift
The tides, oh they lift us up
And then they put us down again
It's never ending
No it is not your fault, we're lost
My heart is tired, it can't go on
Fighting waves that are too strong
Been tossed around and beaten by the sea
Of you and me, we've both jumped ship
We're adrift
