Drifting
G-Eazy Lyrics

Got this flight to London, I ain’t pop no Xans for it
I didn't take any Xanax to calm myself down for this flight to London. Just in case you're wondering, I didn't make any plans for this trip either.

In case you was wonderin', I ain't even plan for it
I just want to make it clear that I didn't have any plans for this trip to London.

I just left L.A, barely caught the plane
I barely made it to the plane on time after leaving Los Angeles for this trip to London.

Fuckin' TSA, swear a nigga ran for it
The TSA made me run to catch my flight, and it annoyed me.

Ain't used to this fame shit
I'm not used to being famous.

This you-all-know-my-name-shit
It's weird to have so many people know my name just because I'm famous.

Me, I'm just the same kid
I'm still the same person I was before becoming famous.

That fucked around and made it
I became famous by messing around and making music.

Fucked over my main chick
I messed up my relationship with my main girlfriend.

Damn she was the main chick
I really regret losing my main girlfriend because she was very important to me.

Thinkin' 'bout the game
I'm reflecting on the choices I made in my life and how they have affected my relationships.

I shouldn't have played, but I played it
I regret making some choices and playing games in my relationships.

And now I'm missin' your love
I miss the love and affection of my ex-girlfriend.

I'm faded once again, I don't know where I am
I'm feeling faded and lost, and I don't know where I am.

But I just know I'm driftin' far from you
I know that I am drifting apart from my ex-girlfriend.

I'm tryna keep my head strong, but my heart won't
I'm trying to keep a strong head, but my heart is breaking due to the distance between us.

Just let me grow away from you
I feel like growing apart is just a natural part of life and it's something I have to go through.

Don't you know we're driftin' off, driftin' off?
We're drifting farther and farther away from each other and becoming distant.

I know you think that it's my fault we're fallin' off
You think that I am the one responsible for our relationship falling apart.

All this hope and disregard, driftin' off
Our relationship was full of hope and disregard, but we're drifting apart now.

I know you think there ain't no fault, we fall apart
You think that there is no fault in our relationship falling apart and it's just something that happens naturally.

I blame it on the distance
I think that the distance between us is the reason why our relationship fell apart.

Why I'm fuckin' with these bitches
I'm hooking up with other girls because of my loneliness and distance from my ex-girlfriend.

These numbers in my phone
I have many numbers in my phone from girls I've hooked up with since breaking up with my ex-girlfriend.

A text pops up, she's like, "Who is this?"
I received a text from a girl I hooked up with, and my ex-girlfriend saw it and asked who it was.

You probably got a mistress
My ex-girlfriend probably thinks I have a mistress or am seeing other girls at the same time.

Probably every week it switches
I'm hooking up with different girls every week, and my ex-girlfriend probably knows that or suspects it.

Now is this cause for concern?
Is it concerning that I'm hooking up with other girls since we broke up?

And should I be suspicious?
Is my ex-girlfriend being suspicious of me hooking up with other girls?

I'm overseas trippin', a million miles away
I'm traveling overseas, far away from my ex-girlfriend, and I feel lost and directionless.

And she's still in L.A., my mom's out in the Bay
My ex-girlfriend is still in Los Angeles, while my mother is in the Bay area.

And these overseas minutes add up, that's a lot to pay
The cost of calling back to the United States from overseas is adding up and costing me a lot of money.

I can pay it, yeah I know, but it's the excuse I say
I can afford to pay for the expensive phone calls, but I use it as an excuse to avoid calling my ex-girlfriend.

She's been tryna track me down
My ex-girlfriend has been trying to contact me and find out what I've been up to since we broke up.

I feel like I'm cattin' now
I feel like I am acting like a cat and hiding from my ex-girlfriend instead of facing her.

Dodgin' her when she's the one
I am avoiding my ex-girlfriend even though she is the one who wants to talk to me and clear things up.

I'm out here trippin', actin' wild
I'm acting out and being wild while traveling overseas and ignoring my responsibility to face the issues in my relationship.

Start to wonder if I've changed
I'm starting to wonder if I've changed since becoming famous and if that's the reason for our relationship falling apart.

I'm like how could that be now?
I can't believe that I could have changed so much that it would cause our relationship to fall apart.

Would these bitches be here really
If I wasn't famous and successful, would these girls still be interested in hooking up with me?

If I wasn't rappin' now?
If I wasn't a successful rapper, would these girls still be interested in hooking up with me?

I'm just so conflicted
I'm feeling confused and uncertain about my feelings and my relationship.

It's been so long since we've kicked it
It's been a long time since my ex-girlfriend and I have talked and hung out together.

And I can't lie, I've missed it
I have missed spending time with my ex-girlfriend, and I can't pretend otherwise.

But somewhere the current shifted
Something changed in our relationship and caused us to drift apart.

And now I'm somewhere else
I'm in a different place emotionally and geographically from my ex-girlfriend.

Far away, feel like we drifted
I feel like we've drifted far apart and are in different places in our lives now.

Hard to face the facts
It's difficult for me to accept the reality of our relationship falling apart.

I'm drinkin' to escape, and then get lifted
I'm drinking and getting high to try and escape from my problems and numb my feelings.

Get swept under a rug, 'till I'm trippin' on a pile
I'm ignoring my problems and trying to push them away, but eventually, they pile up and overwhelm me.

Did it change, somethin' different for a while
Something changed in our relationship, and it's been different for a while now.

Yeah, we grew apart with time
Our relationship grew apart over time, and it's been hard to reconcile.

We ain't kicked it in a while
We haven't hung out for a while, and it's caused our relationship to suffer.

But I still think about you now
I still think about my ex-girlfriend and our relationship, even though we are no longer together.

Without you, see there's differences now
Without my ex-girlfriend, there are many differences in my life, and it's hard to adjust.

But shit happens, how could we have known?
Sometimes life takes a turn and causes things to change, and there was no way we could have known that it would happen to us.

Nothin' can prepare us
No amount of preparation or foresight could have prevented our relationship from falling apart.

From sleepin' at your parents, now to sold out shows in Paris
We've come a long way from sleeping at your parents' house to me performing in front of sold-out crowds in Paris.

To parties at my hotel ashin' blunts up off my terrace
Now, I'm partying in fancy hotels and smoking weed off my hotel balcony.

Tell me, how'd we ever come to live this careless?
I'm reflecting on how we ended up living such carefree and wild lifestyles, and how it contributed to our relationship falling apart.
