Drifting Along

Couple times a week-I’m definitely out of here
Couple times a week-Ain’t never goin’ anywhere
Rest of the time I’m just kinda
Drifting along

Couple times a day-I want it so bad I can taste it
Couple times a day-Just as soon burn it up and waste it
Rest of the time, I’m just kinda
Drifting along

I fight to stay awake-I beg for sleep
Drifting into my-endless loop-ing beat
Drifting

Couple times a month-I think that you’re replaceable
Couple times a month-where are you you’re untraceable
Rest of the time I’m just kinda
Drifting along

Couple times a year-I need to fall apart
Couple times a year-I wake with a brand new heart
Rest of the time I’m just kinda
Drifting along

I fight to be the leader-I fall in like a sheep
Drifting into my-black licorice-ly deep
Drift away-drift away place

Couple times in my life-Thought I might cash in all my chips
Couple times in my life-I thought that I was Jesus
Rest of the time, I’s just kinda
Drifting along

Couple times today-I remembered to appreciate all this
Couple times today-I said your name in a whisper
Rest of the time I’s just kinda
Drifting along. . . .
