The clock is screaming and it's time to go   The day is waiting and you're moving slow   News and weather on the radio   But your mind keeps driftin' away      Work is steady and your friends are good   You're going forward like you think you should   You'd put your heart into it if you could   But your mind keeps driftin' away      Look at your world through the windowpane   Embrace that secret thing that keeps you sane   You're always saying that you can't complain   But your mind keeps driftin' away   And your mind keeps driftin' away      The conversation turns to seeds you've sown   It gets you thinkin' 'bout someone you've known   She's always with you but she's still alone   And your mind keeps driftin' away      We make excuses but you know damn well   A dream's a story only you can tell   You've tasted heaven and you've been through hell   But your mind keeps driftin' away   And your mind keeps driftin' away      Another sunset another dawn   Hard to distinguish where the lines are drawn   Hard to imagine where the time has gone   You might discover you're where you belong   When your mind is driftin' away   And your mind keeps driftin' away      We make excuses but you know damn well   A dream's a story only you can tell   You've tasted heaven and you've been through hell   But your mind keeps driftin' away   And your mind keeps driftin' away   And your mind keeps driftin' away      *Cha*
