Float Away
July For Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could disappear
I could hang my head
For at least another year
I could give up now
It could be today
I could join the Navy
Piss it all away
I'm not saying it ever could be like it used to be
I remember a time when you liked to pretend for me
Well, I don't care if you believe
In unicorn horses and gravity
In north and south and wrong and right
In the Neverland lost boys and Jesus Christ
And UFOs in the USA
And in a government that killed JFK
Don't you stop believing in me
Don't you stop believing in me
I could float away
I know you might say
I make too much sense
This empty room, my empty heart
Is all the evidence
No one wants to hear
My point of view
You keep on saying
Things like that and I'll believe it, too
I'm not saying it ever could be like it used to be
I remember a time when you liked to pretend for me
Well, I don't care if you believe
In unicorn horses and gravity
In north and south and wrong and right
In the Neverland lost boys and Jesus Christ
And UFOs in the USA
And in a government that killed JFK
Don't you stop believing in me
Don't you stop believing in me
I could float away
I could float away
I could float away
I could float away
Well, I don't care if you believe
In unicorn horses and gravity
In north and south and wrong and right
In the Neverland lost boys and Jesus Christ
And UFOs in the USA
And in a government that killed JFK
Don't you stop believing in me
Don't you stop believing in me
Don't you stop believing in me
Don't you stop believing in me
I could float away
I could float away
I could float away
I could float away

Overall, the song's message encourages the listener to keep believing, even when things seem hopeless or the world around them is skeptical. The lyrics suggest that it is important to hold onto one's beliefs and to seek out ways to escape and find solace, even if it is only through the imaginary.
