drift

if you're wondering about the things i think of you tonight
i might not answer
i might not choose to share
i know i'll wake up with the dawn and you will not be there
you'd rather be in someone else's arms

if you're making some fresh coffee and you think i might like some
don't even ask me
i'm sure that it tastes quite divine
it's just that what you have to offer is not what i need to find
and you'd rather be in someone else's arms

when you're watching the sun setting and you know i'm doing the same
don't think about me
don't whisper out my name
you never shared your reasons and i'll never share the blame
you'd rather be in someone else's arms

when the sun streaks through your window, please don't let it catch a tear
or cast a rainbow
i wasn't ever lying
i had more fear of losing you than i had fear of dying
and you'd rather be in someone else's arms

i just might think about you when i'm curled up in my bed
and remembering
or thinking back about you
how you could not live with me, and how i could not live without you
and how you'd rather be in someone else's arms 

the next time something happens and you feel the need for me
just ignore it
pretend it doesn't matter
it's was either love, or less, and i think it was the latter
because you'd rather be in someone else's arms
