- lowtyde
- [Intro –0:00–0:15]
- Yeah, yeah, uh
- Another cloudy day, another long ride
- Got a lot up on my mind
- Windows down, let the world slide
- Yeah, uh, listen
- [Verse 1 –0:15–0:55]
- I been driving through the city with a cloudy mind,
- Looking for a little peace that I never find,
- Got a couple old memories I left behind,
- But they always catch up when I'm killing time.
- Coffee getting cold in the passenger seat,
- Old school records playing over mellow beats,
- Everybody got a dream, everybody got a need,
- I'm just tryna find a place where my soul can breathe.
- I remember being broke with a million plans,
- Now I'm older, still don't really understand,
- How the world keeps spinning when you're standing still,
- How a broken heart can teach you how to heal.
- Got my worries in the rearview, fading slow,
- Every road got a lesson that I didn't know,
- If tomorrow ain't promised, let the sunshine show,
- Even cloudy skies got a little room to glow.
- [Chorus –0:55–1:15]
- Cloudy drive, let the rain fall down,
- Lost inside my thoughts while I circle this town,
- Windows down, let the whole world fade,
- Trying to find myself on another gray day.
- Cloudy drive, I don't know where to go,
- Got a heart full of dreams and a restless soul,
- If the sun don't shine, I'll be alright,
- Just another lost kid on a cloudy drive.
- [Verse 2 –1:15–1:55]
- Yeah, I used to think that happiness was something bought,
- Now I find it in the little things I almost forgot,
- Like a Sunday afternoon with the radio on,
- Or a conversation with somebody that's gone.
- Life moves fast, I been moving too slow,
- Trying to hold on to things I should let go,
- Got a pocket full of change and a head full of hope,
- Learning how to swim when I'm barely afloat.
- See, I ain't perfect, got a couple bad habits,
- Made a few mistakes, had to learn how to manage,
- Everybody wants the gold, nobody wants damage,
- Everybody wants love till they gotta understand it.
- And I laugh at myself when I think too deep,
- All these big conversations that I have with me,
- Got the moon riding shotgun, stars in the street,
- And a jazz beat knocking like a second heartbeat.
- [Chorus –1:55–2:15]
- Cloudy drive, let the rain fall down,
- Lost inside my thoughts while I circle this town,
- Windows down, let the whole world fade,
- Trying to find myself on another gray day.
- Cloudy drive, I don't know where to go,
- Got a heart full of dreams and a restless soul,
- If the sun don't shine, I'll be alright,
- Just another lost kid on a cloudy drive.
- [Verse 3 –2:15–2:45]
- Maybe one day I'll figure out the meaning of life,
- Till then I'll keep riding through the city at night,
- Got a little more wisdom, got a couple more scars,
- Found a little bit of heaven underneath these stars.
- I don't need a mansion, I don't need the fame,
- Just a couple good people who remember my name,
- And a place I can go when I'm losing my way,
- Where the silence feels better than the things people say.
- Life ain't always pretty, but the picture still moves,
- Sometimes you gotta lose just to find something new,
- And I'm learning every day that the sky ain't blue,
- But the rain makes the flowers, that's the beautiful truth.
- [Outro –2:45–3:00]
- Cloudy drive, yeah, I'm taking my time,
- Got the whole wide world on the other side,
- If the road gets rough, I'll enjoy the ride,
- 'Cause I'm still finding peace underneath these skies.
- Yeah, uh...
- Another cloudy drive...
- Somewhere between lost and alive.
