lyrics

I can't sing in tune enough
write a rhyme good enough
that's what I say

I'll give you all I got
and then I'll let it go
and drift away

I won't ask why we drift away
I won't ask why we drift away

You made a dozen promises
but you were never really mine
You were always meant to fly
and I won't ask why you drifted away

And I won't ask why we drift away
I won't ask why we drift away

One day you'll sail away
to a cold and distant sea
or fly away where you can be free
where there's no pain or misery

When you're gone for good
I'll light a candle on a paper boat
and watch it slowly drift away
drift away from me

And I won't ask why we drift away
I won't ask why we drift away

We all have walls to break down
prison cells to tear down
that's what I say
If we only look inside
there's a bird that has to fly

And I won't ask why we drift away
I won't ask why we drift away
