Verse 1
Windows down, late July
Radio low, let it ride
You don’t talk, I don’t mind
Feels like time just slipped behind
Sunburnt skin, blurry days
Laughing ’bout nothing again
Every second feels too good
Like it’s gone before it should
Pre-Chorus
I don’t wanna rush the night
Let it breathe, let it slide
If the world fades out of sight
I’d be fine staying right here
Chorus
Let it drift away (ah)
Out into the haze (hm)
Yeah, we’re floating
Nothing pulling us back today
Let it drift away (ah)
Slow and weightless
In the heat, in the haze (hm)
Verse 2
Static air, easy calm
Your head resting on my arm
Streetlights flicker as we pass
Trying not to make it last
Every sound is softened now
Like the world forgot us somehow
If tomorrow comes too fast
I’ll stay right inside this past
Pre-Chorus
No plans hanging overhead
No words better left unsaid
If this feeling ever breaks
At least we felt it while it stayed
[Whisper Section (very close, breathy)]
don’t say anything
just stay here
let the night move slow
we don’t gotta know
where this goes
[Instrumental Break (short, airy)]
[no vocals — soft guitar/synth, reverb tails, light hiss]
Chorus
Let it drift away (ah)
Out into the haze (hm)
Yeah, we’re floating
Nothing pulling us back today
Let it drift away (ah)
Slow and weightless
In the heat, in the haze (hm)
Outro
Windows down, fading light
Hold this feeling for the night
Let it drift away
