Every evening feels almost the same.
Sometimes that’s exactly what’s needed.
City Drifts follows the familiar walk home through streets that barely change. Closed shops, traffic lights, familiar faces and the comfort of repeating a route you’ve taken hundreds of times. It’s a song about finding peace in the ordinary rhythm of everyday life.
Evening lights blur past the shop fronts
Feet dragging on wet pavements
Coffee cold in my hand
Bus goes past, sprays water on my trainers
Shop’s still open, same bloke behind the till
Doesn’t look up, just scans and nods
I step back out into the same street again
Nothing’s really changed round here
Cars keep coming, same as always
I just match it, step for step
Walking slow, nothing to chase
Same old streets, familiar place
Coffee’s cold but I’m alright
Just taking my time getting home tonight
Corner shop radio hums low
Someone laughs, far down the alley
Hands in pockets, jacket collar up
Got nowhere to be, so I don’t hurry
Walking slow, nothing to chase
Same old streets, familiar place
Coffee’s cold but I’m alright
Just taking my time getting home tonight
Walking slow, nothing to chase
Same old streets, familiar place
Coffee’s cold but I’m alright
Just taking my time getting home tonight
