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).

I’m in this video. I was 11 years old at the time. Spent the whole day shooting this video, the band were really cool. Best memory from school. I’m 33 now and feels nostalgic watching this

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."

that was filmed in my school way back in 1999, i feel so lucky that i can turn on youtube and see my school and see all my friends. some who are unfortunately not with us now. it just floods me with memories from then. and yes...that really was our uniform!

[michaelcandon]

Take a bow you guys, ..created a beautieful classic!!!!

[gregkuhl]

I finally got to see "Travis" live at the Coachella festival back in 07' (here in the states) and never in my wildest dreams did I think they would play this song live..Half way through a stellar set, the lead singer pulls out a 12 string (tunes it for a minute - telling all of us that "hell will be filled with out of tune 12 string guitars and broken sprinkler heads" Everyone LOLZ.
And boom they break into "Driftwood"... and it's a perfect day.

Can´t believe how underrated this awesome band is!

[Skaterbun]

Frans a genius..glad they didn't get as big as coldplay, they are still around keeping it real

[monasueho]

Omg! Today is a great day! I rediscovered this song, never to let go❤🎉

[hamzaharis]

every now & then i kept visiting travis. something so special about their music. I was born 1986 & thanks travis for being part of bright technicolor in my picture of life. greetings from malaysia.

[jamielearmonth]

watching in 2021 in a changed world but still finding comfort in a classic tune.

[talmanyurkovich]

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.

[colleverde]

I'm italian.I't s obvious few people know them here.They r so bloody good.This song is simply perfect.I love them.Best music is from UK.Absolutly.

[andymurday]

Can't believe that tune is nearly 20 years old.

Travis is the greatest band ever!
I don't have words to describe this song and I never saw a band that makes so wonderful videos. The scene when the girl down to the grades is the most beautiful scene that I ever see in a clip. I can wait to see the show in Argentina!

[alexcoyg]

Made me sad when i was a kid...makes me sad now, beautiful song, wish everyone to find love inside and outside

[ryancorper]

I miss bands that created beautiful music from the 60's til the early 2000's. since then music standards have dropped dramatically. love this time period.

[sophieblakeman]

Filmed in my mums school you see her climbing up what a moment for her 🥹

[mayajimenez]

One of the best bands in the world!!!!

[Aldo_]

This song makes every single hair on my body stand up, travis a truly underrated band! Thanks for the music forever grateful! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Travis were actually huge and loved in the UK, no one gives a crap if they were Scottish, Irish or Welsh. Music in the UK isn't like that. They've just been quiet for years. That's all.
