[Verse 1]
Most days I feel like a boat
On an ocean that won't hold me
No lighthouse on the horizon
No shore saying "come home"
I keep looking for a reason
In the waves that pass me by
But they slip right through my hands
Like I never learned to try
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know
I know
I can't stay here forever
One more tide
One more night
I need something better
[Chorus]
I'm drifting, drifting
(Drifting, drifting)
I'm drifting, drifting
(I don't know where to go)
But I still have a pulse
Still have a name
Still have a small flame
Under the rain
I'm drifting, drifting
(Drifting, drifting)
Not gone, not gone
[Verse 2]
I watch my shadow in the water
Fold and break and fade again
Every fear I ever carried
Likes to call itself a friend
But I am more than empty water
More than salt and broken lines
I can reach for something solid
Even if it takes all night
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know
I know
I can't stay here forever
One more tide
One more night
I need something better
[Chorus]
I'm drifting, drifting
(Drifting, drifting)
I'm drifting, drifting
(I don't know where to go)
But I still have a pulse
Still have a name
Still have a small flame
Under the rain
I'm drifting, drifting
(Drifting, drifting)
Not gone, not gone
[Bridge]
If I can't see the land yet
I'll follow the sound in my chest
Let the dark water roll past me
I am not lost
I'm just not there yet
[Final Chorus]
I'm drifting, drifting
(Drifting, drifting)
I'm drifting, drifting
(I know where to go)
'Cause I still have a pulse
Still have a name
Still have a small flame
Learning to grow
I'm drifting, drifting
(Drifting, drifting)
Not gone, not gone
