I didn't know that you'd be leavin'
Or who you thought you were talkin' to.
I figure maybe we're even
Or maybe I'm one up on you.
.
I send you all my money
Just like I did before.
I tried to reach you honey,
But you're driftin' too far from shore.
.
Driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore
.
I ain't gonna get lost in this current,
I don't like playing cat and mouse.
No gentleman likes making love to a servant.
Especially when he's in his father's house.
.
I never could guess your weight, baby,
Never needed to call you my whore.
I always thought you were straight, baby,
But you're driftin' too far from shore.
.
Driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore
.
Well these times and these tunnels are haunted,
The bottom of the barrel is too.
I waited years sometimes for what I wanted.
Everybody can't be as lucky as you.
.
Never no more do I wonder,
Why you don't never play with me any more.
At any moment you could go under,
'Cause you're driftin' too far from shore.
.
Driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore
.
You and me we had completeness,
I give you all of what I could provide
We weren't on the wrong side, sweetness,
We were the wrong side.
.
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.
You can't walk the streets in a war.
I can finish this alone, honey,
You're driftin' too far from shore.
