~ Drift Away - Steven Universe ~

[Lauren5528]

“Here in the garden
let’s play a game,
I’ll show you how it’s done.
Here in the garden
stand very still,”
this’ll be so much fun!

And then she smiled,
that’s what I’m after,
the smile in her eyes,
the sound of her laughter,

happy to listen,
happy to play,
happily watching her

drift away.

Happily waiting,
all on my own,
under the endless sky,
counting the seconds
standing alone
as thousands of years go by,

happily wondering,
night after night,
is this how this works?
Am I doing it right?

Happy to listen,
happy to stay,
happily watching her

drift away.

You keep on turning pages,
for people who don’t care,
people who don’t care
about you.

And still it takes you ages,
to see that no one’s there,
see that no one’s there,
see that no one’s there,
everyone’s gone on without you.

Finally something,
finally news,
about how the story ends.
She doesn’t exist now
survived by her son
and all of her brand new friends.

Isn’t that lovely?
Isn’t that cool?
And isn’t that cruel?!
And aren’t I a fool to have,

happily listened,
happy to stay,
happily watching her

driiiift,
driiiift,
driiiiiiiiift, away.
