Drifting Away by LAU & AKRAS

After the viral single Laser Eyes, LAU is back with her second single ‘Drifting Away’ ahead of her awaited third studio album ‘Digital Dream’, due at the end of the year.

LAU (AKA Laura Fares), a prominent figure in the Synthwave and Retrowave scenes, has co-written this track with prolific Finnish producer AKRAS (Olli Äkräs) and worked together on this super catchy, Retrowave track with strong 80s influences.

The song is about leaving a toxic relationship, however hard that might be. Making that choice to finally leave to start a new life: “I have to break my heart for both of us”.

AKRAS spotless production added to LAU’s heartfelt vocals, makes this second single a hit, not to be missed this year, and sets the tone for what’s to be expected of the rest of the album.

Lyrics

[LYRICS]

Sorry I didn’t wake you up
I’m heading to the motorway
Looking for a sign

You said you couldn’t walk away
Because I love you
I have to make the choice
For both of us

I thought the last time was the last time
(The last time)

Have it your way, I'm driving away
You say you’re gonna change, but it’s all just the same
These roads are calling my name

Now you can just,
Have it your way, I know it’s a shame
We nearly had it all, baby I cannot stay
Tonight I’m drifting away, yeah

I’ll sleep in a motel tonight
no more night calls, no more fights
I’m not yours and your not mine

I know that time will heal the scars
Because I love you
I have to break my heart
For both of us

Have it your way, I'm driving away
You say you’re gonna change, but it’s all just the same
These roads are calling my name
Now you can just,
Have it your way, I know it’s a shame
We nearly had it all, baby I cannot, yeah

With every mile and every breath
I’m thinking of you less and less
No idea what lies ahead
But I’m thinking of you less and less

Have it your way, I'm driving away
You say you’re gonna change, but it’s all just the same
These roads are calling my name
Now you can just,
Have it your way, I know it’s a shame
We nearly had it all, baby I cannot stay
Tonight I’m drifting away
Tonight I’m drifting away
Hey

With every mile and every breath
I’m thinking of you less and less
No idea what lies ahead
But I’m thinking of you less and less
