Drift

[Intro] (piano — single note, slightly slowing) (breath) la... la... la... [Verse 1] Same tempo, same tempo Slowly pulling wide Same beat, same beat Never quite arrived [Pre-Chorus] And the pulse won't— [Chorus] La la la, not on time La la la, not behind Every measure drifting outward Every rhythm losing ground [Verse 2] Same clock, same clock Running just below Same grid, same grid Slipping as it goes [Pre-Chorus] And the time won't— [Chorus 2] La la la, not on time La la la, not behind Every beat arriving later Every ending out of ground [Bridge - Japanese] 少しずつ ずれていく 戻らない けれど続く [Break] (single note held) (breath) ... not on time [False Ending] la la— la— ... [Final Chorus] La la la, not on time La la la, not behind Running slow in the drift Everything is losing ground la la la, not right la la la, not wrong out of time losing ground la la— not quite— la— [Outro] (single note fading) same tempo same tempo ... not on time
