Drifting Lyrics by On An On

And the Wave Has Two Sides

2015

[Verse 1: Nate Eiesland]
I had a dream that when I woke up, you were finally there
And I believed that all the hours turned to minutes, it's not fair
And when I turned to look at where you should've been, I started drifting
I tried to stare into your eyes and realized that there was something missing

[Chorus: Nate Eiesland]
And if I stayed, I couldn't help but lie awake
'Cause it's not you, it's just a dream, it's only fake
I just gotta leave
I gotta leave

[Verse 2: Nate Eiesland]
Turn the key, I try, I try to drive away into the night
Try to keep, I try to keep between the lines and out of sight
And when I looked beside me where you should've been, I started drifting
I tried to stare into your eyes and realized that there was something missing

[Chorus: Nate Eiesland]
And if I stayed, I couldn't help but lie awake
'Cause it's not you, it's just a dream, it's only fake
I just gotta leave
I gotta leave

[Post-Chorus: Nate Eiesland]
I gotta get out
I gotta get out
I gotta get out
I gotta get out

[Bridge: Nate Eiesland]
And when I turned to look at where you should've been, I started drifting
I tried to stare into your eyes and realized that there was something

[Chorus]
And if I stayed, I couldn't help but lie awake
'Cause it's not you, it's just a dream, it's only fake
Still if I changed, everything would be the same
I can't take no more, I don't know what I'm fighting for
And I just gotta leave
I gotta leave

[Outro: Nate Eiesland]
I had a dream that when I woke up, you were finally there
When I woke up, you were finally there
That when I woke up, you were finally there
