Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And he just drove off, sometimes life's okay
I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh, what did I say
You laughed it off, it was all okay
And we all float on okay
Yeah, we all float on okay
Yeah, we all float on alright already
A fake Jamaican took every last dime with that scam
It was worth it to learn from sleight-of-hand
Bad news comes, don't you worry even when it lands
Good news will work its way to all them plans
And we all float on okay
Yeah, we all float on okay
Yeah, we all float on alright already
We all float on okay
We both got fired on exactly the same day
We'll float on good news is on the way
Bad news comes, don't you worry even when it lands
Good news is on the way
And we all float on okay
Yeah, we all float on okay
Yeah, we all float on now don't worry
We all float on
