Lyrics
Drifting
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.
You've been gone for so long all that you know
Has been shuffled aside as you bank in the glow
of the beautiful strangers that whisper you name
do they fill up the emptiness
Larger than life is your fiction in a universe made up of one
Chorus
'cause you have been drifting fo so long
I know you don't want to come down
But somewhere below you there's people who love you
and they're waiting for you to come home please come home
You walk in a room and the world stops to stare
You mesmerize all who are caught in the glare
of the spotlight that follows wherever you go
does it light up the emptiness
Larger than life is your fiction in a universe made up of one
Chorus
