Float
Al Pride Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and a new puppy below
i feel an effortless emotion
but i will never let you know
let's stop caring if it's right or wrong
let us miss where we belong
just doesn't feel like an exception
is the best thing that we're called
(and I'm so careless)
I float out of my head
floating out to you
(you do care less)
this river takes my breath
just like you used to (do)
(too careless)
I float out of my head
floating into you
(and I'm so careless)
this river takes my breath
just as you still do
I fill a glass with my devotion
adding your songs to the queue
I miss chances to stay sober
waiting for the sky to join the blue
I float out of my head
floating out to you
this river takes my breath
just like you used to (do)
I float out of my head
floating into you
this river takes my breath
just as you still do
