Float
Justin Stone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
Heart feeling empty, let it float, float
Heart feeling empty, let it float, float
Heart feeling empty, let it float, float
Heart feeling empty, let it float, float

Learning life won't go as planned
Learning it's okay to fall in love
But tell me why I think of you
When I'm the one that walked out on you like
Girl I left you in the dirt, six feet down
I don't think that anyone can fix me now
Feelings going more numb with each rebound
Double, double on the player, player, player
Hell, this baby, I'm the MVP
Always been the best and you hated it
Entertained us then i jaded it
You know I hate when you get drunk
I know, I know I done change
I see I done, I done did it
But if you want me back
Baby, I'ma say forget it, get it

Heart feeling empty, let it float, float
Heart feeling empty, let it float, float
Heart feeling empty, let it float, float
Heart feeling empty, let it float, float

You don't trust, I got lust, I got pride
At the end of the day
You don't trust, I got lust, I got pride
At the end of the day
You don't trust, I got lust, I got pride
At the end of the day
You don't trust, I got lust, I got pride
At the end of the day

Heart feeling empty, let it float
Heart feeling empty, let it float
Heart feeling empty, let it float
Heart feeling empty, let it float

Yeah i know that the truth gon' hurt
I know that regret will sting
Honestly some time away
But honestly some time away
Maybe find love on the west coast
Fears let my life be a mess though
If I'ma drown in the stress, stress, stress
I'ma, I'ma, I'ma drown in the stress low
You love it when I let go
Love it, love it when I'm me
Little bit weird
But you like that I'm unique
I'm not out here tryna be someone
I can never ever really be
Learning from the stakes when they catch ya
Yeah, I'm done saying that I'm next, ya
Right in the face were I grow now
Takin' what I've learned on the road now

Heart feeling empty, let it float, float




Heart feeling empty, let it float, float
Heart feeling empty, let it float, float
