Drift Away
Bedroom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

a long time ago
my mind was alone
stuck in circles
so minimal

but now i have changed
my dark minds erased
i feel so at ease
the things you've shown me

im not perfect
more than object
its all cause of him
he took away sin

so what do i do
now that I've heard you




you have worked me
you've made me complete
