Drifting Apart

Alien Ant Farm · 20th Century Masters: Millennium Collection - The Best Of Alien Ant Fa [2008]

we'll take a trip for two,

around the world.

we'll have a birds eye view,

of every single nation.

i could be what you wanted.

i could be what you needed.

we're drifting apart like people do.

we're difting apart 'cause we all do.

and skies seem blue.

time has two separate hands

and i wonder where we stand.

we're drifting apart like people do

we're drifting apart 'cause we all do.

i'll gravitate toward the only girl.

so with the wind we blew

and now we're on a mission.

i could be what you wanted

i could be what you needed

we're drifting apart like people do.

we're drifting apart 'cause we all do

and skies seem blue

time has two separate hands

and i wonder where we stand.

we're drifting apart like people do.

we're drifting apart 'cause we all do.

Drifting Apart

Alien Ant Farm's "Drifting Apart" serves as a defining track from their 2003 debut, truANT, capturing the band's signature blend of alternative rock and pop sensibilities. Released during the height of the mid-2000s alternative revival, the song exemplifies the group's ability to merge catchy melodies with introspective lyrics about emotional distance and relationship dynamics. Featured prominently on their 2008 greatest hits compilation, the recording solidified the band's reputation for crafting anthemic songs that resonated with a wide audience. The track remains a staple of their discography, illustrating their evolution from punk-influenced beginnings to a more polished, radio-friendly sound that characterized their most commercially successful era.
