Night Drifts

City hum, I’m movin’ slow

Headphones on, that’s all I know

Breath make clouds in the cold air

Thoughts run laps, but I stay here

Clock on my phone say it’s too late

Ghosts of my plans that I didn’t make

Scrolling my past like a timeline

Swear I see you in the white light

I just let the night drift by

Eyes half-open, mind too high

All these dreams I never write

Fade like smoke into the sky

I just let the night drift, night drift

Hold my breath and let it slide

If it’s real, it will survive

If it’s gone, then let it die

Blue tint glow on my dull skin

Same four walls that I sleep in

Sink in thoughts like a deep sea

Still can’t tell what they see in me

Half-healed hurt that I still scratch

Replay words I can’t take back

But the moon don’t judge what I’ve done

It just hangs there, callin’ me on

I just let the night drift by

Eyes half-open, mind too high

All these dreams I never write

Fade like smoke into the sky

I just let the night drift, night drift

Hold my breath and let it slide

If it’s real, it will survive

If it’s gone, then let it die
