jack rootes - drifting lyrics

[intro]

“see, when you’re making your climb all the way to the top, there’s always gonna be those people that’ll doubt your ability. so, this is my message to them.”

[hook]

when you see me on the top, you better wish me well
’cause i remember back then, you would give me h+ll
you’d laugh and jeer when i’d share my dream
you’d say i’m nothing, while i’m with my team

but as i move on from these sour places
can’t wait to see regret on your faces
as i’m drifting away from your damage
leavin’ your sorry self bitter and stranded

[verse 1]

slowly driftin’ away from problems you create
if you weren’t such a problem, maybe i would’ve stayed!
but i see you’d rather lay around, hardly working
lettin’ life pass you by, like the glory’s certain
to fall into your lap, if you wait long enough
when i would share my plans, you’d only rebuff
say my plans are nothing, i’ll never be sh+t
so i should forget about them and just quit
but joke’s on you; i’ll be movin’ on to better things
while you’ll stay grounded like you’ve got paper wings
when you see me succeed, i know you’ll feel stupid
as i leave you behind, you’ll feel so useless
but i’m moving on, now i’m making huge moves
all of those things that you wish you could do
but all you can do now is waste away
not me though, i’ve got plans that i won’t delay

[hook]

[verse 2]

you can try and call, but there’s bad reception
life’s current pulls us in opposite directions
mapped the moon and stars and where the tides go
now it’s my time to leave and follow the flow
of where the ocean goes, away from all the stress
find some smooth sailing, the pain i lay to rest
you see, the mightest weapon of all is the pen
i could fight with you, but i won’t see you again

so where i stand now, i don’t see the point
i’ll let my work show, leave you so annoyed
missed the chance to be great, that’s your biggest failure
this little boat only has room for one sailor
see, when you jeered at me, i would always manage
but now i’m settin’ sail, i’m leaving you stranded
driftin’ away, if i see a better life, i’ll cop it
and there’s nothing that you can do to stop it!
[hook]
