Nicholas Challier - Drifting (Acoustic) Lyrics

He wants to build a boat, and sail away
They've tackled stormy seas, but their bounds break
Board by board he builds, until the shape takes hold
He hoists up the sails, and the memories unfold

Now he's trying to make it out alive
Can't seem to understand why they couldn't survive
As he looks toward the horizon, she turns to him and says

You're breaking my heart, it's wild
How we're drifting apart, I'm exiled
And though I'm trying my very best to keep you close again
You're drifting
You're drifting

Not a word is said, as he turns to look behind
At the life he had just left, the girl he'd longed to find

Now he's trying to make it out alive
Can't seem to understand why they couldn't survive
While he looks toward the horizon, he remembers what she said

You're breaking my heart, it's wild
How we're drifting apart, I'm exiled
And though I've tried my very best to keep you close again
You're drifting

The waves grow stronger now, as he tries to turn around
The waves grow stronger now, as he tries to turn around

Word soon reaches town, he's on the ocean floor
She thinks about his fate, and looks beyond the shore
She thinks about the day that he'd gotten away
Thinks what she could have said to make him stay

And now she's trying to make it out alive
Can't seem to understand why they couldn't survive
As she looks toward the horizon, she remembers him and says

You've broken my heart, it's wild
How we drifted apart, I'm exiled
And though I tried my very best to keep you close again
You drifted
