Drifter Lyrics by Capstan

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
