(Verse One)
There's something telling me to look up in the air,
It's a bird, it's a plane, no wait...
I think there may be something else up there,
But I think I may be faded,
So I don't know what to make (of it),
A little too much Kentucky Bulleit in my glass,
I'm unable to pass,
I think I sip it too fast,
I think I want to put my foot on the gas,
But vision and a comprehension no grasp,
I don't think that I can tell you what I see,
I shouldn't be behind the wheel of my Passat,
Chasing something that I thought I saw,
I think I seen a new addition to the mission that I got,
Gripping to another feeling that I want to "get at",
My grammar slip a little bit,
But I don't give a care,
Space trippin, got my mind on the money,
But the honey dried up,
And opportunity rare (and I),
Had a dream and I think that I forgot,
When I took that pen and hit the pot,
I always think a small amount will be okay,
But then I find that I be flying instead of driving to the spot,
Head up in the clouds rollin,
Try to paint a picture of a perfect moment,
Pocket full of paper and I try to scribble on it,
Words are what I got and I cannot ever disown it,
Or never disown them,
Sometime I just wanna rhyme when it works "In the End",
And "In the end it doesn't even matter",
Ended up in Linkin Park with a friend,
Bennington,
I hope you've found a better place and life is good again,
I hope you're not an artist misunderstood again,
I hope I get to meet you when I'm carried in the wind,

(Chorus)
I DRIFT AWAY
YOU DRIFT AWAY
WE DRIFT AWAY
WE CAN ALL FLY AWAY

(Verse Two)
There's something telling me to look up in the air,
Sky high like a jet stream,
Reach with a palm up above,
Try to grab it,
Seize a moment like a thief up in the night with a red beam,
We're always looking to the ground trying to place that step,
One in front of the other,
Connect,
Left to the right to the left,
Correct,
It's a monotonous mind game,
What a concept,
Why do we ever look away from all the dreams set?
All the things said?
All the paths tread?
All the laughs had?
All the has beens?
All the what if's?
All the woulda coulda shoulda?
Man I think I need a compass,
To figure out where we lost the way,
Used to be blue,
Now the sky gray,
Took it to the preacher, but no answer here today,
Gotta find it on my own, so I pray,
So I pray,
I wish somebody would explain it,
Why I feel so far away from all the dreams I used to hold so,
Can you tame it?
Whatever lives inside of me that makes the wheels turn,
Could I just hold it?
The innocence I started out with,
Was it real?
I promise that I'll never forget,
Which direction I am going as I drift into the waves,

(Chorus)
I DRIFT AWAY
YOU DRIFT AWAY
WE DRIFT AWAY
WE CAN ALL FLY AWAY

(Verse Three)
I can't seem to remember,
Where it was that I came from and why,
Why I complicate it so,
Why I get so frustrated oh,
I try to believe in a higher place,
I'm forever reaching to obtain a beauty within my pain,
There's something telling me to look up in the air,
I wonder why it never was an answer,
To the question,
Got me guessing,
Throw another penny in the pond to get it to me faster,
They tell you never to give it up,
May as well live it up,
Stay trapped in the wonder of a moment,
I know that it's enough,
Let the cards fall,
Don't ever let them call a bluff,
Stay up in the middle of a dream state,
Keep a glass half full and a nice place,
Don't let it pass by, ticking time, get late,
I can tell you right now, that's a mistake,
Whatever you believe, believe you,
Let your spirit live inside a heart so true,
Believe it or not, I know there is so few,
This life is a dream and you know it too,

(Chorus)
I DRIFT AWAY
YOU DRIFT AWAY
WE DRIFT AWAY
WE CAN ALL FLY AWAY
