NYZA ORIGINALS
Driftaway
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
