Verse 1
Pretty drifter 
Here we go again
The lovely things we once knew
Are all coming to an end
You don't know what it's like to feel the way I do
The multiple meanings beneath the feelings that I feel for you
Pretty drifter
I knew it wouldn't last
No matter what happens in the present
Will never change the past
I see the road ahead, 
The paths from which we strayed 
Forget all the conditions of
The love that we both made

Chorus
Pretty drifter
Drift away from me tonight
And know although it all has changed 
It all will be alright
I sadly wave goodbye
As we both drift apart
Even though you keep on drifting
You'll always be in my heart

Verse 2
Pretty drifter
I saw the warning signs
I got so sick of walking
I just swerved between the lines
Our road was shorter than the one we meant to take
It's weird to me how true love always starts to seem so fake
Crazy drifter
Your words were so unreal
I needed more than what you said
To really, truly feel
I see the path ahead become a new road freshly paved
As I move on farther along
The good shit starts to fade

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
Pretty drifter
Please don't forget me
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to learn see
It only took a day to get over me
It will take forever to forget my memories 
Your love is fading
I hate this feeling
Super jaded
Loved and hated
I see the sidewalk ending and I stop to turn around
But its drifted into darkness and the past has all burnt down

Chorus
Pretty drifter
Drift away from me tonight
And know although it all has changed 
It all will be alright
I sadly wave goodbye
As we both drift apart
Even though you keep on drifting
You'll always be in my heart
Pretty drifter
Drift away from me tonight
And know although it all has changed 
It all will be alright
You won't remain in place
You're drifting every day 
But know my love, from my heart, you will never drift away
