On “float,” EDEN desperately asks a girl who left him to return to his side. He describes the feeling of her leaving him as “drowning,” claiming he could get over it and “float.” EDEN previously used this metaphor on his 2014 song “drowning.” when he went under the alias The Eden Project.

[Intro]
I can't find you
But can't fault you, 'cause I
Can get so caught up in my own head
You just float through, I can't catch you
And I can understand but can't face the feeling
That I'm just another end
[Chorus]
So when you coming home?
I could be what you need, girl
If you want me to
You know what they say, bruh
That love gon' come back to you
[Verse]
But I can float too, and I don't ask for much from you
And maybe that's too much, too soon
So I, keep rolling through the blackout
No fires without some fallout
Made peace out of the pieces
Now I can't take it back now, no
But I keep on track now up
And yeah, that's all of it
I gave up my youth for this 'cause I wanted it, and
If you think that I need you then you're out of your head
But I want you
[Bridge]
So bring me down and drown me out
I'll be waiting here when you're ready
And I'll lay me down, unfinished now
It hurts
[Chorus]
So when you coming home?
I could be what you need, girl
If you want me to
You know what they say, bruh
That love gon' come back to you
[Refrain]
Come back to you, come back to you
Oh, it's always you, gon' come back to you
Come back to you, gon' come back to you, yeah
Come back to you
[Bridge]
So bring me down and drown me out
I'll be waiting here when you're ready
And I'll lay me down, unfinished
Yeah, yeah, oh
[Chorus]
When you coming home?
I could be what you need, girl
If you want me to, if you let me
You know what they say, bruh
That love gon' come back to you
[Outro]

There’s a sample of my Mum talking to me. We were driving to my Granny’s house for dinner. I was stressed out about something – I don’t remember what – and we were stuck in traffic, and an ambulance was coming the other way. I thought it would...
