Continental Drift Lyrics by Chief State

Waiting For Your Colours

2022

[Verse 1]
I remember 2012 like an old familiar morning
Kick it by the lake with nothing planned
It was easier back then, unaware of what was dawning
I didn't know the good came with bad

[Pre-Chorus]
Do you ever think of what we had?
At the time I thought it’s such a drag

[Chorus]
In winter I feel the continental drift
It's been years in making
But recently I've noticed it
I'm bitter about my latest mental shift
I want a second chance with ignorance
And live in bliss

[Post-Chorus]
How did it come to this?
How did it come to...

[Verse 2]
You're never warned of what's in store
But I thought I'd be prepared for
What the world was gonna throw at me
Make it through the day despite the growing lethargy
Looking for a way to free my mind from decay

[Pre-Chorus 2]
All that I thought came to nothing
Over and over I let myself slip away
Is this temporary?
Then I guess that I'm to blame

[Chorus]
In winter I feel the continental drift
It's been years in making
But recently I've noticed it
I'm bitter about my latest mental shift
I want a second chance with ignorance
And live in bliss
Consider this a detrimental fit
'Cause I'm not able to comprehend the logistics
So bitter about this latest mental shift
I want a second chance with ignorance
And live in bliss

[Bridge]
Oh, how did it come to this?
All these years I've been falling adrift
Changing but failing to notice it
Can somebody show me a way to live?
Oh, how did it come to this?
All these years I've been falling adrift
Changing but failing to notice it
Can somebody show me a way to live?
Is this it? Am I nothing more than this?
I think I've got more to give
Can somebody show me a way to live?

[Outro]
Oh, how did it come to this?
Oh, how did it come to this?
Oh, how did it come to this?
