The Drifter’s Alibi

Verse 1

You ask me how I sleep at night

When the world's on fire outside my door

I shrug and pour another cup

Tell you I've seen this all before

La la la, oh

La la la, oh

Chorus

You're running circles in your head

While I'm just floating down the stream

You count the ways it could go wrong

I close my eyes and let it be

Post-chorus

(Drifting through, drifting through)

(Like I always do)

Oh, oh, oh

Verse 2

You mention all the close calls

The times I should have hit the ground

But here I am still standing

Never made a worried sound

La la la, oh

La la la, oh

Chorus

You're running circles in your head

While I'm just floating down the stream

You count the ways it could go wrong

I close my eyes and let it be

Post-chorus

(Drifting through, drifting through)

(Like I always do)

Oh, oh, oh

Bridge

You ask about the empty bed

The silence when the sun goes down

I tell you loneliness is just

Another word you throw around

Verse 3

Watch you pace across the room

Calculating every move

While I lean back against the wall

Got nothing left to prove

La la la, oh

La la la, oh

Chorus

You're running circles in your head

While I'm just floating down the stream

You count the ways it could go wrong

I close my eyes and let it be

Post-chorus

(Drifting through, drifting through)

(Like I always do)

(Drifting through, drifting through)

(Nothing else to do)

Oh, oh, oh

Outro

La la la, oh

La la la, oh

(Drifting through)

La la la, oh
