Driftwood Songtext
von Cam Penner

It′s gonna get worse before it gets better
I wrote it down in a love letter
Sang it for you
I know that love is the only redeemer
Everything else is just a make believer
Everything else

How can you say you'll change when you′re gripping a knife
When you're dressed in the bones of a previous life
Won't you lay down your sword
Your shield and your pride

We′re just riding the river
Crashing on the rock
Coming up for air
Just floating along

We′re all shaped like driftwood
And all we got to do
Is find some truth
And see it through


I'm eating the word I learned from my father
Shining a light in the face of the darkness
Shining a light

I know what I need and I already have it
You think it′s the money, I've already spent it
You think it′s for glory, I'd only regret it
The story you sold me, I already forget it

I′m paying the rent, my head's above the water
What drove the wheel is the weight we are under
Tell me how and why you're not bothered
How and why

Some go down kicking
Some willingly lay down
Most already live with both feet in the ground
Some won′t let go
Some won′t leave home
Some find it easier if they just don't know

And all we got to do
Keep kicking the dark
Till the light shines through
Shine through


It′s gonna get worse but it's gonna get better
Say it out loud and you′ll always remember
It's gonna get worse, it′s gonna get better
It's gonna get worse, it's gonna get better
It′s gonna get worse but it′s gonna get better
It's gonna get worse but it′s gonna get better
It's gonna get worse, it′s gonna get better

I get worse, I'll get better
