Adrift Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ever since we said our goodbyes
The onion rings, the phone makes me cry

Something isn't right
Like the Deep Blue without the Great White

In the morning open your eyes
The waterfalls, the fire flies

You're an abacus
And my heart was counting on us


[Chorus]
Your heart's got a heavy load
There's still a long way to go
Keep your eyes on the road

[Verse 2]
Crescent moon sings me to sleep
The birches bark, the willows weep
But I lie awake
I'm adrift without a snowflake

[Chorus]
Your heart's got a heavy load
There's still a long way to go
Keep your eyes on the road
Your heart's got a heavy load
There's still a long way to go
Keep your eyes on the road

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
