Lyrics Drifter - Capstan

Drifter

Well I became unchained on those late night drives.
Following too close behind
Smiling through bloodshot eyes.
Definition of a reckless youth
Those Midwest nights will always show the brightest truth
But with no regrets I gave up all I had just to gain wide open oceans from
inland lakes
Sweet home no matter how far I go.
Regardless of the roads that I now travel
Brought to life by dust and gravel.
Filled my lungs and stood me up
Hardened inside by where I was stuck.
But a thousand miles and a few degrees
have forged true love I could never see
And I suppose that I’ll never know what tomorrow means if I let the past go
There’s feelings in these moments whether you choose to see them or not
And the worn out shoes on my tired feet tell stories of days now lost
Gripping to these seconds wish I could save some of these days
And I’ll keep them close for when I grow older to avoid mistakes I’ve made
But with no regrets I gave up all I had just to gain wide open oceans from
inland lakes
Sweet home no matter how far I go.
Regardless of the roads that I now travel
Brought to life by dust and gravel.
Filled my lungs and stood me up
Hardened inside by where I was stuck.
But a thousand miles and a few degrees
have forged true love I could never see
Here I think I’m finally found.
I’m weightless and outbound
Head up in the clouds, heels dug deep into the ground
And I’m gripping to these seconds wish I could save some of these days.
And I’ll keep them close for when I grow older to avoid mistakes I’ve made
