Robin Schulz (Bootleg) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My feet can’t touch the ground,
Touch the ground, and it feels like
I can see the sands on the horizon every time (every time)
You are not around
I’m slowly drifting away (drifting away)
Wave after wave
I’m slowly drifting (drifting away)
And it feels like I’m drowning
Pulling against the stream
Pulling against the stream
(Drifting away)
Wave after wave
Wave after wave
I’m slowly drifting (drifting away, drifting away)
My face above the water
My feet can’t touch the ground,
Touch the ground, and it feels like
I can see the sands on the horizon every time (every time)
You are not around
I’m slowly drifting away (drifting away)
Wave after wave
Wave after wave
I’m slowly drifting (drifting away)
And it feels like I’m drowning
Pulling against the stream
Pulling against the
(Drifting away)
Wave after wave
Wave after wave
I’m slowly drifting (drifting away)
(Drifting away)
I wish I could make it easy
Easy to love me, love me
But still I reach, to find a way
I’m stuck here in between
I’m looking for the right words to say
I’m slowly drifting, drifting away
Wave after wave
wave after wave
I’m slowly drifting (drifting away)
And it feels like I’m drowning
Pulling against the stream
Pulling against the
