SSTO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I said I'll be there now, be there now
Suppose I could try harder, yeah, I know
It always comes around, comes around
And I can feel it drifting
See my worries are away for now
They said just don't worry
And I can feel it drifting
And I can feel it drifting
And I can feel the sun, shine
Had a cloudy day in mind
They said just don't worry
So I doubt my troubled mind
And that's all right
And I can feel it drifting
See my worries are away for now
They said just don't worry
Those are only dreams you're worrying about
And I can feel it drifting
And I can feel it drifting
And I can feel it drifting
And I can feel it drifting
And I can feel it drifting
And I can feel it drifting
And I can feel it drifting
And I can feel it drifting
