Driftwood Dreams is a poignant pop anthem that dives into the feeling of existential dread and the struggle of connection. With a lyrical style reminiscent of 'Waving through a Window' and the introspective tones of Ben Rector, this song captures the essence of drifting apart while yearning for connection, like being lost on a vast ocean.
Verse 1:
I'm a ship sailing far from the shore,
With waves crashing down, can't take anymore.
Caught in the storm of the thoughts in my head,
I reach for the light, but I'm lost instead.
Chorus:
Will you meet me where the sky meets the sea?
'Cause I'm drifting apart, can you feel me?
In the silence, I scream, but no one can hear,
Oh, these driftwood dreams, they haunt me here.
Verse 2:
Tides pull away, like you seem to do,
Each silence between us, a choking blue.
I'm reaching my hands out, but you're out of sight,
In this open ocean, I'm losing the fight.
Chorus:
Will you meet me where the sky meets the sea?
'Cause I'm drifting apart, can you feel me?
In the silence, I scream, but no one can hear,
Oh, these driftwood dreams, they haunt me here.
Bridge:
And I wonder if you’re searching the same horizon,
In the waves of our hearts, have we lost that excitement?
I'm longing for anchors, but I float far away,
Caught in the currents of what I couldn't say.
Chorus:
Will you meet me where the sky meets the sea?
'Cause I'm drifting apart, can you feel me?
In the silence, I scream, but no one can hear,
Oh, these driftwood dreams, they haunt me here.
Outro:
Fading lights in the twilight of what used to be,
Still I hold on to the hope, that you'll come back to me.
But for now, I just sail in the depths of my fear,
Oh, these driftwood dreams, are all that’s here.
