about

"Drift Away" is the latest single from Jonah Tolchin, who has penned this tender slice of Americana to remind us that many of the worries that occupy our minds are meant to be left in the past. Tolchin says of the song, “There is nothing lyrically in this song that is being cloaked in metaphor. The song is clearly about letting go, but letting go of what? That is for the listener to decide for themselves.”

lyrics

Like an old lullaby that your mama sung
You comfort yourself about the things you've done
Moving so fast I know you wanna slow down
Trying to breathe in while your breathing out
And oh the guilt, and oh the shame
It's time to let go and let it drift away

It's alright to smile, it's alright to cry
It's okay to live again after you die
I know you think your heart can't take it no more
But I'm here for you, no one’s keeping score
And no more guilt, and no more shame
It's time to let go and let it drift away

Drift away, drift away
It's time to let go and let it drift away
It's time to let go and let it drift away
It's time to let go and let it drift away
