Drifter Lyrics by Evan Melada

Maladaptive Daydreams

2018

V1
Where, where, where do you drift at midnight?
When you closed the door, I was wide awake (Yeah I was wide awake)
Now you'll never know why I ride at night
One time you thought you knew under acid drenched sunrise
Pre-Chorus
You can't lay your hands on me, you fucker, anymore
I won't cry for you no more
Chorus
I light and burn for you
Yeah it's true when you knew you'd leave me too
I live and die for them things you want
So c'mon and I'll drift too
V2
Three sheets to the wind when I close my eyes
(My bloodshot eyes have seen this town)
Feel my soul slip away every night when I sleep
(Flip, switch, get dark - and never come around)
Don't you know that I've been drifting too?
(Falling through floors of the sickest memory)
New man each night, midnight, since I got numb
(At soft daybreak ma, can I dream?)
New roads you call dangerous, I know like the back of my hand
Try as you might, you'll never understand
Chorus
I light and burn for you
Yeah it's true, when you knew you'd leave me too
I live and die for them things you want
So c'mon
Bridge
Why'd you do it? Why'd you do it?
Wrap me up in your arms and blew it
Why'd you do it? Why'd you do it?
Wrap me up in your arms and blew it
You go, you're on the run
While I hold out for the sun
There you go, you're on the run
Pay me dust, you useless fuck
I'm angry and I'm lost
So please don't leave me here
You and only you were supposed to take me out of here now
No, you know I know
Not in this god damn place
Outro
I walk alone and you
You don't come through with my call, I beg you
It's midnight and it's mine
But it don't feel right when I'm not with you
I walk alone and you
You don't come through with my call, I beg you
It's midnight and it's mine
But it don't feel right - I'll drift too
