Lyrics Matthew Ryan

Matthew Ryan

Drift

Hittin' it hard, hittin' it long

up all night tryin' to write this song

there's no way that you'll forget what I said

there's no way you'll forget me

Look at that slow southern sun

Hovering and burning everyone

Cold air that blows just rattle the pain

I've only always said what I thought I meant

I'm inclined to give up this time

I'm inclined to drift

Or crawl

Postcards use short words

deserted lovers got what they deserve

Only wished that you had turned to say

"It's alright, I still love you anyway"

watch that crow as it floats from view

radio towers and dark hills drift

Photographs are pinned and stretched across

Every promise I broke, every smile you lost

I'm inclined to give up this time

I'm inclined to drift

or crawl
