AFROBEATS 92 BPM 3:09 Official Lyric Video

3am on the expressway, hands loose on the wheel, watching the city lights blur into watercolor streaks in the side mirror. She's not running from anything—she's running toward the feeling of weightlessness, where the road hums beneath her and nobody knows her name. By sunrise, she'll turn around, but right now, she's untethered.

Lyrics

Verse 1 Steeringwheel's warm, the road is calling me City lights bleeding gold on the passenger seat No destination, just the engine's lullaby Foot down slow, let the hours multiply Chorus I'm drifting away, drifting away Where nobody's name means a thing I'm drifting away, drifting away Let the midnight take the sting Verse 2 Phone on silent, your messages fade to black I know you're waiting but I can't look back The road is honest when the world's asleep Every mile tastes like something I need Chorus I'm drifting away, drifting away Where nobody's name means a thing I'm drifting away, drifting away Let the midnight take the sting Bridge It's not about running, it's about breathing Finding the space between what I was and who I'm becoming The road don't ask questions, it just takes me further Till I remember why I'm alive Verse 3 Dawn's on the horizon, I know I'll turn back home But for now, let me float in the in-between zone Drifting away, drifting away Outro Drifting away Let the midnight take the sting
