Drifting
ɯÀ­¿ËÀÍ¿ËÀ¼ Sarah Mclachlan Lyrics

You've been gone for so long all that you know
You've been away from home for such a long time that you've lost touch with reality.

Has been shuffled aside as you bask in the glow
You've become so absorbed in the attention and admiration of others that everything you once knew has taken a back seat.

Of the beautiful strangers that whisper your name
You're surrounded by people who are only attracted to your glamorous exterior and superficial persona.

Do they fill up the emptiness
You use these people to distract yourself from the emptiness you feel inside.

Larger than life is your fiction in a universe made up of one
You've created a larger-than-life version of yourself in a world that revolves around you, but this fantasy is in reality an isolated, imaginary universe.

'Cause you have been drifting for so long
Your aimless wandering, without purpose or direction, has been going on for far too long.

I know you don't want to come down
You're not ready to face the reality of your life and return to those who love you.

But somewhere below you there's people who love you
Despite your disconnection from the people in your life, there are still those who care for you deeply.

And they're waiting for you to come home, please come home
The people who care for you are desperate for you to return home, where you belong and where you can find true happiness.

You walk in a room and the world stops to stare
Your captivating presence has the ability to captivate and hold the attention of an entire room.

You mesmerize all who are caught in the glare
Your stunning appearance and charismatic persona have a mesmerizing effect on those around you.

Of the spotlight that follows wherever you go
You're accustomed to the constant attention and celebrity-like status that accompanies your life.

Does it light up the emptiness
Despite the allure and excitement of your life, you still feel empty and unfulfilled inside.
