Float
Hunter Plake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're blazing through my veins
These things, they never change
And my love drove hard
I'm waiting for the fire to start

Young, out of our minds
On the edge of town behind
In the back of my car
I never know where we are

We'll float away
I'm yours today
And would you let me know
Before I go?
And I wait for you

Girl, you look so fine (so fine)
With your t-shirt off underneath that Hollywood sign
What your friends don't know
They think we're taking it slow
We'll float away
I'm yours today

And would you let me know?
Before I go?
And I wait for you
We'll float away
I'm yours today

And would you let me know
Before I go?
And I wait for you
Would you let me know




Before I go?
And I wait for you
