Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dri-Dri-Dri-Drifting Away
Know it won’t last forever
Want you to stay
But I know that its better
If you don’t go
Go, I’ve had this feeling strong for a while now
I won't say a word, nah I’ll quiet down
I won't say that I just wanna talk to you
But I don’t wanna talk to you
Damn I'm feeling so confused
I think I care too much for you
Yeah, but what am I to do?
Why can't we just be see through
Stop secrets, feelings, feeling blue
Drifting Away
Know it won’t last forever
Want you to stay
But I know that it's better
If you don’t go
(Don't go)
Forever and ever and ever again
Will you stay right by me
Always til the end
(Don't go)
Forever and ever and ever again
(Don't go, Don't go, Don't)
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Forever and ever and ever again
Know its only that simple inside of my head
Forever, forever, forever yeah we’re
Drifting Away
Know it won’t last forever
Want you to stay
But I know that it's better
If you don’t go
2,3,4,5 years
Down the drain, I'm drying tears
I still try and the hide the fear
Of losing someone I care for
Yeah I care for
