This song is about the loneliness that everyone experiences throughout life. It is about coping with that loneliness and how the singer feels like his girl will leave him if he really opens up to her and expresses all of his love.
[Verse 1]
Now, I don't know if I'm lost
But this all just looks the same
I am pushing on the door
Between sorrow and fame
I would crawl out of this hole
If it wasn't so cold
In the morning, I'll be fine
In the morning, I'll be right
[Chorus]
If I go all the way
Then the girl won't stay, no, the girl won't stay
I know I can change
If we both get old, will you let me float away?
[Verse 2]
I don't want to be young
But I don't want to die
I can whisper in the wind
We can smoke out every night
I don't want to live alone
I don't want to stay inside
I can learn from my mistakes
In the morning, I'll be right
[Chorus]
If I go all the way
Then the girl won't stay, no, the girl won't stay
I know I can change
If we both get old, will you let me float away?
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
If I go all the way
Then the girl won't stay, no, the girl won't stay
I know I can change
If we both get old, will you let me float away?
