Drift Away
If you cannot catch me, I’m gonna drift away
I’ve been living lonely, for most of my days
So you know I’ll sing my heart out and say
Wanna know you, wanna know you wanna know everything about you
Wanna show you, wanna show you Wanna show you wanna show you everything about me
I don’t know why, I don’t know why, I don’t know why, I know that I just need to try
To make you realize that in my eyes you’re enough
So when I get home to you, no matter how far
There’s not a thing I would do to change the way you are
So you know I’ll speak my heart out and say
I’ve been dreaming of flight, drifting far away
Beyond the reach of my mind, though my heart wants to stay
So you know, I’ll speak my heart out and sing
Wanna know you, wanna know you wanna know everything about you
Wanna show you, wanna show you Wanna show you wanna show you everything about me
I don’t know why, I don’t know why, I don’t know why, I know that I just need to try
To make you realize that in my eyes you’re enough
