Lyrics

I say I don't mind anymore

I express that I no longer care

But it comes back like Driftwood

My indifference resurfaces like driftwood

And I'm on the shore

I find myself on the shore, facing the issue

Swim out to the sea

I venture into the sea

I don't want to be me

I dislike my own identity

I'd rather float to the bottom

Preferably, I'd rather sink to the depths

And spend my life how I please

I desire to live life on my terms

See my life float away on a piece of driftwood

Observing my life drift away like driftwood

Stare at the shoreline

Gazing at the shoreline with uncertainty

Afraid of getting left alone

Fearing isolation, hesitant to be left alone

And I've called your phone

I've attempted to contact you

About a hundred times

Repeatedly calling your phone

And I judge too much and say what I would

I tend to be judgmental and vocal about my hypothetical actions

Do in a situation

Discussing what I would do in a given situation

As if it mattered anyway

Realizing the insignificance of such discussions

So it goes, even if it comes back to bite me

Accepting consequences, even if they are unfavorable

I'll be fine

Assuring myself that I will be okay

Don't wanna cross any lines

Avoiding the crossing of boundaries

Tell me what I should be,

Seeking guidance on who I should become

Whatever sounds good and sweet

Willing to conform to what sounds pleasing

Without a thought, I'll shape up

Readily adapting without much thought

And take the plunge to the deep

Committing to a significant change or decision

See my life float away on a piece of driftwood

Witnessing my life drifting away on driftwood

Stare at the shoreline

Contemplating the shoreline with apprehension

Afraid of getting left alone

Fearing the possibility of being abandoned

And I've called your phone

Reiterating attempts to connect by calling your phone

About a hundred times

A persistent effort with numerous calls

And I judge too much and say what I would

Expressing judgment and verbalizing my hypothetical responses

Do in a situation

Discussing what I would do in a hypothetical situation

As if it mattered anyway

Recognizing the futility of such discussions
