About the Song: 'Drifting' came to me after moving out of a home and moving into another just a few doors down. I remember still having keys to the old house but knowing I could never unlock those doors again. I liked the idea of memories as anchors - sometimes they keep you steady, sometimes they just weigh you down. The verses follow different moments of driving by or walking past the old place, seeing the lights on, and wondering about the new life happening in there and there's an element of a lost relationship with someone. I'd like to think this song is open to many interpretations. Leave your comments. I'd like to know what the song means to you.

[Intro]
3...2...1...
Keys turn locks, but time mek tides
Shadows linger where di love reside
It's a heart's high tide
Let di current guide
(Let it go, let it flow)
[Verse 1]
Mi key still fit yuh door
Still fit, still fit
Three months gone—waves crush di shore
Time keeps moving on
Boxes stack where laughter played
Memories fade
Movin' day—yuh ghost still stay
[Chorus]
Now every memory
Drift 'pon di tide
Slip further out to sea inside
Driftin', driftin'
What used to hold mi tight
Anchor's bite
Now drown mi soul inna moonlight
Driftin'
Drownin' slow
Me-me-memory
[Verse 2]
Mi could skank dere tonight
Walk di road
Streetlights burn like Jah's own light
Guiding light, guiding light
What was mine—yuh rearrange
By right, by right, by right
Curtains sway where shadows exchange
Everyting change!
[Bridge 1]
Oohs and aahs
I called to say I'm sorry for...
Silence
[Verse 3]
Now every window I see
Watching, waiting
Through curtains I still see
I can still see you
The shape of what we were
Just shadows now
Through moonlight beams
Driftin'
Driftin'
[Chorus]
Now every memory
Drift 'pon di tide
Slip further out to sea inside
Driftin', driftin'
What used to hold mi tight
Anchor's bite
Now drown mi soul inna moonlight
Driftin'
Drownin' slow
Drownin' slow
[Bridge 2]
Remember, forget
Remember, forget
Let go, hold on
[Chorus]
Now every memory
Drift 'pon di tide
Slip further out to sea inside
Driftin', driftin'
What used to hold mi tight
Anchor's bite
Now drown mi soul inna moonlight
Driftin'
Drownin' slow
Drownin' slow
