    Lyrics:
    Everything is open
    Nothing is set in stone
    Rivers turn to ocean
    Oceans tide you home
    Home is where your heart is
    But your heart had to roam
    Drifting over bridges
    Never to return
    Watching bridges burn
    You're driftwood floating underwater
    Breaking into pieces pieces pieces
    Just driftwood hollow and of no use
    Waterfalls will find you bind you grind you
    Nobody is an island
    Everyone has to go
    Pillars turn to butter
    Butterflying low
    Low is where your heart is
    But your heart has to grow
    Drifting under bridges
    Never with the flow
    And you really didn't think it would happen
    But it really is the end of the line
    So I'm sorry that you turned to driftwood
    But you've been drifting for a long long time
    Everywhere there's trouble
    Nowhere's safe to go
    Pushes turn to shovel's
    Shoveling the snow
    Frozen you have chosen
    The path you wish to go
    Drifting now forever
    And forever more
    Until you reach your shore
    You're driftwood floating underwater
    Breaking into pieces pieces pieces
    Just driftwood hollow and of no use
    Waterfalls will find you bind you grind you
    And you really didn't think it would happen
    But it really is the end of the line
    So I'm sorry that you turned to driftwood
    But you've been drifting for a long long time
    You've been drifting for a long long time
    You've been drifting for a long long
    Drifting for a long long time
    Travis are a Scottish rock band formed in Glasgow in 1990, composed of Fran Healy (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Dougie Payne (bass guitar, backing vocals), Andy Dunlop (lead guitar, banjo, backing vocals) and Neil Primrose (drums, percussion). The band's name comes from the character Travis Henderson (played by Harry Dean Stanton) from the film Paris, Texas (1984).

    Healy has said: "Driftwood is a song for the person in your life who has so much potential and, yet, doesn't use it because they're afraid of falling on their backside, you know, they're afraid of making a fool of themselves. But, yet, if they put their minds to it and just threw their plate out the window, they would actually do a lot with it and make themselves happy and other people happy."

      Haha! I'm 28, not too much younger than you, & as much as I don't have those type of responsibilities (by choice), I have others (disabilities that I've not long found out I was born with but decided to rear their painful ugly heads in latter years) - but I get exactly what you mean. I enjoy songs for their lyrics usually, but I was just listening to a few songs by The Script & for some reason I was trying to remember 'the band I always enjoyed & listened to on the music channel & radio' while slogging out at my friends - Travis! Young & carefree - often hungover, lounging on the sofa, laughing at our previous nights antics in the pub with this playing - I remember how popular it was back then. Time sure flies by doesn't it? I think it's even scarier how kids want to be grown up so quickly now, stay young! It's a trap! X

    Everything is open
    Nothing is set in stone
    Rivers turn to ocean
    Oceans tide you home
    Home is where your heart is
    But your heart had to roam
    Drifting over bridges
    Never to return
    Watching bridges burn
    You're driftwood floating underwater
    Breaking into pieces pieces pieces
    Just driftwood hollow and of no use
    Waterfalls will find you bind you grind you
    Nobody is an island
    Everyone has to go
    Pillars turn to butter
    Butterflying low
    Low is where your heart is
    But your heart has to grow
    Drifting under bridges
    Never with the flow
    And you really didn't think it would happen
    But it really is the end of the line
    So I'm sorry that you turned to driftwood
    But you've been drifting for a long long time
    Everywhere there's trouble
    Nowhere's safe to go
    Pushes turn to shovel's
    Shoveling the snow
    Frozen you have chosen
    The path you wish to go
    Drifting now forever
    And forever more
    Until you reach your shore
    You're driftwood floating underwater
    Breaking into pieces pieces pieces
    Just driftwood hollow and of no use
    Waterfalls will find you bind you grind you
    And you really didn't think it would happen
    But it really is the end of the line
    So I'm sorry that you turned to driftwood
    But you've been drifting for a long long time
    You've been drifting for a long long time
    You've been drifting for a long long
    Drifting for a long long time

    This in my unqualified opinion is the best song they made and is still my favourite guitar song all these years later. I’m still amazed that it didn’t top the charts for weeks and weeks. Everyone seemed to like why does it always rain more but Driftwood is my favourite by a country mile.

    Bring back the memories of my fun searching of so called alternative back in senior high school era at Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia, South East Asia circa 1999. At that time it was quite difficult to found alternative musician since internet are very limited info were available plus Indonesian music scene are owned by big multinational record company with their boring popular music. Until one day I watched one of MTV show called MTV Alternative Nation with their iconic motto "And we promised NO BOYBAND" ❤ so many unknown band in Indonesia such as Mull Historical Society, Mansun, Catatonia, Muse (not yet world wide famous at that time) and this song but accoustic version ahh I missed my senior high school era very much, I missed VJ Sarah Meier and VJ Denise Keller 💕

    I always thought of this song as being about saying good riddance to a fair weathered friend who you felt was just drifting through life not doing anything positive with their lives and just overall bringing you down. Because that happened to me a couple of times and I ended up thinking about this song in those instances, like they're just becoming driftwood going down a river, uncertain as to where they're going. I wonder if Fran Healy was thinking about one person in particular who was like that when he wrote this.
