float
Pacific Air Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now I don't know if I'm lost
But this all just looks the same
I am pushing on the door
Between sorrow and fame

I would crawl out of this hole
If it wasn't so cold
In the morning, I'll be fine
In the morning, I'll be right

If I go all the way
Then the girl won't stay, no the girl won't stay
I know I can change
If we both get old, will you let me float away?

I don't want to be young
But I don't want to die
I can whisper in the wind
We can smoke out every night

I don't want to live alone
I don't want to stay inside
I can learn from my mistakes
In the morning I'll be right

If I go all the way
Then the girl won't stay, no the girl won't stay
I know I can change
If we both get old will you let me float away?

If I go all the way
Then the girl won't stay, no the girl won't stay




I know I can change
If we both get old will you let me float away?

This deserves WAY more views than it is getting. Because about 450,000 are from me. It is safe to say this song has been an addiction of mine since it was released. 

Lana loves Jesus
