Floating
Tay Oskee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But like the birds we move we just sing our songs
The stagnant river only turns to much
And this is true it gets tough the normality of it all
And sometimes I am stuck but I dont take the fall
Cause I'm on your heart beat now we're
Sailing, fells like we're floating along
Feels like theres hope in it all
You tell me darling this is not great
We don't go out anymore, we dont even fail
But just when that thought starts to creep and bend your
Mind, we find that place, we'll talk and we'll be just fine.
Cause roles are not always straight but we took the time.
I'm on your heart beat now we're
Sailing, fells like we're floating along
I'm on your heart beat and it gets better
Feels like theres hope in it all
I'm on your heart beat now we're
Sailing, fells like we're floating along
I'm on your heart beat and it gets better
Feels like theres hope in it all
Cause I'm on your heart beat now we're
Sailing, fells like we're floating along
I'm on your heart beat and it gets better
You tell me theres hope in it all
