Let It Drift Away

[Verse]
I held her shadow in my hands so tight
Fingers burned from the weight of the night
The echoes of her laugh still chase me down
[Prechorus]
But I can’t keep breathing where the air won’t stay
The past is a wave I have to let drift away
[Chorus]
Let it drift away let it drift away
The tide’s pulling me where the new days play
The shore ahead is calling my name
Let it drift away let it drift away
[Verse 2]
Her name’s carved deep in the bark of my chest
But time’s got a knife and it’s carving the rest
The scars tell a story but they don’t tell me to stay
[Prechorus]
The wind keeps whispering it’s time to go
I’m lighter when I let the anchor below
[Chorus]
Let it drift away let it drift away
The tide’s pulling me where the new days play
The shore ahead is calling my name
Let it drift away let it drift away
