The Drifters

You never heard this one from me
I wanted to belong to what I fear
And we're supposed to laugh it off
We're very limited in honesty
A sense of belonging just for once in my life
I thought you were God and Elvis rolled into one
This is my life and it's all I have
Repeat after me we're drifting, repeat after me we're drifting
Does he know? My life is still my own
Repeat after me we're drifting, repeat after me we're drifting
Does he know? My life is still my own
There's no connection to my past
And if it's hurting me, it's teaching me
You took your pill today, for sure
You're desperate for your friends to like you more
When Kennedy spoke you'd hear America sigh
The solace in their goodness above
We scream and we fight, it's all we have
Repeat after me we're drifting, repeat after me we're drifting
Does he know? My life is still my own
Repeat after me we're drifting, repeat after me we're drifting
Does he know? My life is still my own
If I were a girl and you were born as a boy
Although I'm still here, someone is turning me back, yeah
Failure's beautiful to me
Repeat after me we're drifting, repeat after me we're drifting
Does he know? My life is still my own
Repeat after me we're drifting, repeat after me we're drifting
Does he know? My life is still my own
