Lyrics

I close my eyes
And I'm walking in a black and white world
Where the ocean meets the sand
And my feet sink down low

The sun has set
And the fog is heavy
Creating an illusion
And I drift into the fog

I am drifting, I am drifting in a black and white world
I am drifting, I am drifting
I am drifting, I am drifting in a black and white world
I am drifting, I am drifting

A perfect little family
Sits in the sand
Making their memories
Is this where I'm supposed to be

I am drifting, I am drifting in a black and white world
I am drifting, I am drifting
I am drifting, I am drifting in a black and white world
I am drifting, I am drifting

I am only a shadow
I am only a shadow
I am only a shadow
I am only a shadow

And I drift into the fog
