Drifter

(album: Seasonal Depression - 2014)

Well I became unchained on those late night drives
Following too close behind. Smiling through bloodshot eyes
Definition of a reckless youth
Those Midwest nights will always show the brightest truth

But with no regrets I gave up all I had just to gain
Wide open oceans from inland lakes

Sweet home no matter how far I go
Regardless of the roads that I now travel
Brought to life by dust and gravel
Filled my lungs and stood me up
Hardened inside by where I was stuck
But a thousand miles and a few degrees
Have forged true love I could never see

And I suppose that I'll never know
What tomorrow means if I let the past go
There's feelings in these moments
Whether you choose to see them or not
And the worn out shoes on my tired feet
Tell stories of days now lost

Gripping to these seconds wish I could save some of these days
And I'll keep them close for when I grow older to avoid mistakes I've made

But with no regrets I gave up all I had just to gain
Wide open oceans from inland lakes

Sweet home no matter how far I go
Regardless of the roads that I now travel
Brought to life by dust and gravel
Filled my lungs and stood me up
Hardened inside by where I was stuck
But a thousand miles and a few degrees
Have forged true love I could never see

Here I think I'm finally found
I'm weightless and outbound
Head up in the clouds
Heels dug deep into the ground

And I'm gripping to these seconds wish I could save some of these days
And I'll keep them close for when I grow older to avoid mistakes I've made
