Drift Lyrics

I Knew That
They said the world was a different place
Through the eyes of another face
They said the change would be slow in coming round

They said the sky would be burning bright
And all the angels would begin to fight
Over the reason why there's no seasons
And there'll be no day and night

...But I knew that

I heard the words you were telling me
I heard your lies, your stupidity
But all these things you say to me
You just don't understand

...You see I knew that

And if you look maybe you might find
The words came from another mind
And if you think that you've got it right
Well maybe you should stand and fight

They tried to talk but it was no good
They said you'd leave and I knew you would
I knew the time and I knew the place
But through the eyes of another face

I saw the words that were in your head
I heard the thoughts that remained unsaid
I tried to talk but it's much too late
'Cause I seem mixed up and I can't relate

...But I knew that!

What do you say when love is gone
...I said I knew that


Every Time You Go
Waste my time
Waiting for the call
To take me somewhere
I can't find

And you stay sometimes
But never long enough
Am I asking too much
For your nights?

CHORUS
'Cause every time you go
I feel I'm losing something
Every time you leave
It hurts my mind

The fading light
Takes you from my arms
And finds you somewhere
Outside again

So I lose myself
In someone else's charms
I can't hold them to my heart
And take you back again

CHORUS

Is that what you want...?


Turn You 'Round
Every time I look at you
I think of all the things we could do
And all the happiness you could use

Fancy cars and limousines
Take you every where to be seen
But do you really need these things to get by

'Cause if you're looking kind of sad about it
Tell me, what you need?

CHORUS
Anything that you want done baby
Anything at all
Any tie you need me
I'll return your call, yes I will
Turn you around

If love is all that you're searching for
You know I've got so much more
Than you will ever need

'Cause I'm looking kind of sad about
Tell me, what you need?

CHORUS


Drift
Out of my head, out on my own
Sometimes I understand this life we've been shown through

CHORUS
And around this time, we began to drift
I used to feel weightless, now I'm pretty hard to lift

You say, what you wanna say
In my arms I know your home
If you go, where you gonna go?
And leave me on my own...to drift alone

And somewhere along the thin white line
I'm spending my days and nights waiting for you to show
You say what you wanna say...

You said maybe I should go
And I spin into a haze, waiting for you to show

CHORUS

You say, what you wanna say
In my arms I know your home
If you go where you gonna go?
And leave me on my own...to drift alone...


Almost Made You Smile
In my hand, you might see
Something special that she gave to me
And in my head you might find
Something special that she left behind

And you will see
Your eyes light up again like mine
And you will see
That after all this time
I almost made you smile

Through my life I have seen
This love come and go
There's no in between
And in my dreams
I have seen something
Altogether more serene

And you will see
Your eyes light up again like mine
And you will see
The fever run through life
And you will see
The sky turn blue with all your light
And you will see
That after all this time...
I almost made you smile

Could you feel like this again...show me something?

I almost made you smile


Alone in the Dark
I feel the storm, but it's so strange
To feel desire without the pain
And I feel your eyes search my soul
For something sacred, for something more than you need

Your words are lost, there's no aim
It's pure emotion that holds this flame
And the rain will fall and touch your heart
It's pure devotion alone in the dark

CHORUS
So tell me what you feel
Tell me every little thing
Tell me all that you are now
And tell me what it's like to see
>From your own heart
Now I've got you
...Alone in the dark

The shadows fall all around
There's no one to harm you here, nowhere to be found
And it seems like we've been lost in the world of our
Own thoughts
There's no one I'd rather be with now until the end

CHORUS


Someone to Talk To
I watch your eyes across the room
And I see how much they've changed
>From what I knew
Things seem so different now
In your life
But I never wanted more that you could find

And now the sun won't shine into your room
And the love you thought you felt
Was never true
Things seem so different now
In my life
And you know I felt the emptiness of time

CHORUS
It took me so long...to find myself...
Someone to talk to

You say the world is wide
And your throughts are deep
And the wind will carry
Everything you keep
Things seem so simple now
In my life
Now I've found someone
Who makes it all seem right

CHORUS


Necessary Evil
I feel like I've been lost somewhere
And I find out why I'm here again
And time stretches across my mind
Spins all the way around

And now I find myself alone
My head without a home
I turn myself to you
But what else could I do

CHORUS
And where will you be
When all this is coming down?
With time to kill
Where will you be
When all this is coming down?
You're a necessary evil

You lit a fire with the sweetest kiss
I saw the flame and I held my hand to it
And I know that if I ever miss you'll
Burn me to the ground

And now I'm lost within myself
I'm losing self respect
I turn myself to you
But what else could I do

CHORUS

You've changed me now
I search for something new
And I hurt myself but I can't see it through

Now I find myself alone
My head without a home
I turn myself to you
But what else could I do

CHORUS


As Far As You Can Go
You took me up, took me higher baby
As far as you can go
You lit the flame of my desire
And everyone should know

The sunny streets of my hometown
Where we began to play
And the feelings deep inside my heart
Will never fade away

See I try, try, try, but that's no good for you
If you really feel you need to work it out

Take a trainride to the mountainside
And let it all fade away

And the happiness that you gave me honey
I will always save
You see the cool breeze of love just blew and then it went away

You see I try, try, try, but that's no good for you
If you really feel you need to work it out
Well hey

Take a trainride up through the mountainside
And let it all fade away

As far as you can go


I Don't Want to Be Like This
I see you're angry with the things you did
And I know you will be lost until
You find a reason that can make you see my wish

And now I'm watching as you swing your dress
And your friends may cool your own distress
But you could change it all with
Just one kiss, one kiss

CHORUS
'Cause I don't want to be like this...for too long

And the words are racing through my head
But they need to come from you instead
So close your eyes and think of all the things you miss

CHORUS

The days are growing colder now
And I'm lost when you don't come around
But you could change it all with
Just one kiss, one kiss

CHORUS


Until the Light Shines Through
It feels like my thoughts
Could run into your mind
ANd say the things that I can't say

And all of this time
I'm thinking to myself
The only thing I see is you
My life runs through
Your heart will be a place for me

Night speeds so fast
It's easy now
I cut myself on these thoughts of you
And I hear your voice
I'm running now into your world
That takes me near the edge of real
My mind to steal each night with you
Make everything seem new

CHORUS
And it feels like I'm
Spending all my time
Chasing dreams I wish so would come true
If you hold the knife
I would take my life
I want to be with you
I want to be with you
Until the light shines through

Nothing changes now my heart stands still
You could part my will to live

CHORUS
