Drifter by Weatherworn Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I’ve seen reason
Come and go
Like smoke beneath the light-posts
Crowds of humbled, ghosts
Have followed us home
With lush hope and slow throws
Just know, I’ll pick up
When the wind blows

[Pre-Chorus]

Maybe I’m easing my mind

Maybe I’m buying more time
Each road sign, wrought, screaming
“Get out while you can...”
Don’t twist my wrist

'cause you can’t...

[Chorus]
They’ll tempt and they’ll try;
Hell, they’ll vouch on their lives
(Those) Clever crooks in red ties
Pass them by
They don’t know shit about the view
Beyond the still-frames
A hand-shake ,and a last name
I’m not paying for my time
While I’m sleeping on the secondhand

[Verse 2]

We left the lights low
Wrapping pillar to post
I won’t settle at the core
Of the coast for too long
We’re sad songs, lost dogs;
Gauging doses cut too close

[Pre-Chorus]

I’ve stretched the lifeline
No sense of real time
Dimly tracing
Still-frames in my mind
I’ve stressed the lifeline
Roaming reel-time;
In the meantime…
(I won’t settle with the loss ends)
[Chorus]

They’ll tempt and they’ll try;
Hell, they’ll vouch on their lives
(Those) Clever crooks in red ties
Pass them by
They don’t know shit about the view
Beyond the still-frames
A hand-shake ,and a last name
I’m not paying for my time
While I’m sleeping on the secondhand

[Bridge]

Well I make decisions
For all the wrong reasons
I tailor my answers
To sit with they’re questions
Developed a taste
For committed resentment
I'm not turning heads
I'm not turning heads

I won't dare forget

[Chorus]
They’ll tempt and they’ll try;
Hell, they’ll vouch on their lives
(Those) Clever crooks in red ties
Pass them by
They don’t know shit about the view
Beyond the still-frames
A hand-shake ,and a last name
I’m not paying for my time
While I’m sleeping on the secondhand


I won't dare forget
