Drift Away
The Beatles and Rolling Stones Lyrics

Day after day I'm more confused
Despite the passing of each day, my thoughts and emotions remain uncertain and disordered.

Yet I look for the light
Still, I search for something to guide me through the darkness.

Through the pourin' rain
Even during difficult times, when my spirits are low and everything seems to be going wrong.

You know that's a game that I hate to lose
I'm aware that life doesn't always go as planned, but I still struggle to accept it.

And I'm feeling the strain
This constant battle is causing me great emotional and mental stress.

Ain't it a shame
It's unfortunate that my struggles seem never-ending and insurmountable.

Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I'm seeking solace and escape through the power of music.

I want to get lost in your rock and roll
I yearn to lose myself in the energetic and captivating rhythms of rock music.

And drift away
To let go of my worries and float away on the notes and melodies.

Beginning to think that I'm wasting time
I'm becoming increasingly convinced that what I'm doing with my life is futile and meaningless.

I don't understand the things I do
I'm struggling to comprehend my own motives and actions, and what drives me forward.

The world outside looks so unkind
The harsh realities of the world are weighing heavily on me, making me feel hopeless and isolated.

Now I'm counting on you
I'm placing my trust and faith in the power of music and its ability to heal and uplift.

To carry me through
To help me overcome my struggles and guide me to a better place, emotionally and mentally.

And when my mind is free
In those rare moments when my mind is unburdened by worries and doubts.

You know a melody can move me
I find that a beautiful song can have a profound impact on my emotions, uplifting my mood and easing my tension.

And when I'm feeling blue
When I'm feeling down or sad.

The guitar's coming through to soothe me
The sound of an electric guitar has an almost therapeutic effect on me, calming me down and easing my worries.

Thanks for the joy that you're given me
I'm expressing my gratitude to the musicians who've gifted me with the power of their music to lift me up and comfort me in tough times.

I want you to know I believe in your song
I'm acknowledging the effort and talent that went into creating the music that's helped me so much.

Your rhythm and rhyme and harmony
The careful crafting of musical elements that make the song so powerful and captivating.

You've helped me along
Once again, expressing appreciation for the role that music has played in getting me through tough times.

Na, na, now won't ya
A playful invitation to the musicians to continue spreading their gift of music and help lift others up.

Won't ya take, oh ha ..take me
A plea to be taken in by the emotional pull of the music and be carried away on the notes and rhythms.
