about

The idea of drifting or floating permeates throughout the song as a metaphor for letting go and allowing chance and coincidence direct you like a ship without a rudder or sail. Sometimes its good to just let go and allow the stars to align or fall from the sky and see what happens.

lyrics

Give me a long sure drift
Give me reasons to miss you
There is after all
A line that cannot be crossed
You will never fit
In your own home you are a guest
You breathed in and you stared out
At this long sure drift

Well I spoke to the clouds
What was the alternative
A little bit busted, a little bit sad
A little bit broken down
You have wasted so much time
Forgot what you were doing
I’ve crossed borders and crept into towns
Got lost in the pit

C:
Give me a long sure drift
Give me reasons to miss you
There is after all
A line that cannot be crossed
You will never fit
In your own home you are a guest
You breathed in and you stared out
At this long sure drift

Just need to ask yourself
How will you finally fall
There were no smoke and mirrors
There was no wrecking ball
Call me whatever you want
Because I know what’s down the line
The wheels have fallen off the cart
And to fix it there’s not enough time

C:
Give me a long sure drift
Give me reasons to miss you
There is after all
A line that cannot be crossed
You will never fit
In your own home you are a guest
You breathed in and you stared out
At this long sure drift

There’s other things on your mind
Leave your pity at the door
Like how these crooked arms
Can’t hold you anymore
Your voice alone contains
All the conflict that I need
Catch a breath and simply reply
Let the silence say its peace
Well it crept along
Found a home inside my skull
I didn’t cry out for help
I just needed some rock’n’roll
Well you can do whatever you want
But you will fall and miss
There is nothing left to say
On this long sure drift

C:
Give me a long sure drift
Give me reasons to miss you
There is after all
A line that cannot be crossed
You will never fit
In your own home you are a guest
You breathed in and you stared out
At this long sure drift
