Drifting Away
Lance feat. Skye Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everytime I lose my self control
It feels like I can't let you go
I'm at the point of no return

Don't ever wanna come back down
I'm up so high above the ground
This feeling I will always yearn
Drifting away
I'm flying, I'm gonna head for paradise
Nothing to say
I'm climbing, I wanna stay right here tonight

Drifting away
Drifting away

Now I've got you inside of me
I'll take the opportunity
To keep on going with the flow

Don't ever wanna come back down
I'm up so high above the ground
I hope this feeling never goes

Drifting away
I'm flying, I'm gonna head for paradise
Nothing to say
I'm climbing, I wanna stay right here tonight

Drifting away
Drifting away
Drifting away
Drifting away
Drifting away
Drifting away
Drifting away

Drifting away
Drifting away
Drifting away
Drifting away
Drifting away




Drifting away
