Drifting
Bodacious D.F. Lyrics

Wait, there's something that I missed.
The singer realizes that they missed something important.

I never felt the drift, cause I'm miles out and I'm searching for the ships.
The singer was too far away to feel the current and was looking for a way back.

Faint, I tried to swim back in, but then the current switched.
The singer attempted to swim back to shore but the current changed direction.

It pulled me out where the worry lost its grip.
The current took the singer away from their worries.

I felt the ground under my feet, and I finally found where I can breathe.
The singer found solid footing and a place to catch their breath.

I'm floating worlds away, and something has to break.
The singer feels far away from their problems and knows that something needs to change.

I fell asleep in the deep end. I'm still believing, That all the world can change, and you'll still be the same.
The singer takes a metaphorical dive into deep waters and still believes that the world can change and that the person they are addressing will remain constant.

You're never leaving, you'll reach in and cross out lines in the sand.
The singer believes that the addressed person will always be there and will erase any boundaries that are drawn.

Now hoping my mind won't sink, with time to think. Open my eyes and see, it's everything.
The singer hopes that their mind doesn't drown in their thoughts and they want to see clearly again.

I look back at the wreck, and it keeps my mind in check To move ahead when I see you never left.
The singer sees the wreckage of their past relationship and uses it to remind them to move forward and not be held back by the addressed person.

And all of the times I find I don't feel you, I'm doing things for you rather than with you.
The singer feels alone and realizes that they are doing things on their own, rather than doing them together with the addressed person.

You said, That's Okay, but it's not gonna fix you. I already paid for the life that I'll give you.
The addressed person acknowledges the singer's struggles but knows they cannot fix them, and reminds them that they have supported them financially.

So I put down the cross I made myself carry, and won't give my thoughts to things that you buried.
The singer decides to let go of the burdens they've been carrying and stop dwelling on things the addressed person has buried.

You said, Stop holding on if it makes you grow weary. I'll forgive all the wrongs and forget if you dare me.
The addressed person encourages the singer to let go of what's causing them pain and to forgive them, offering to forget about past wrongs if the singer is willing to let them go.

I'm floating worlds away, and something has to break.
The singer feels far away from their problems and knows that something needs to change.

I fell asleep in the deep end. I'm still believing, That all the world can change, and you'll still be the same.
The singer takes a metaphorical dive into deep waters and still believes that the world can change and that the person they are addressing will remain constant.

You're never leaving, you'll reach in and cross out lines in the sand.
The singer believes that the addressed person will always be there and will erase any boundaries that are drawn.
