Float is about feeling responsible for damaging a fragile person. someone who had never been in a relationship, someone with trust issues that won’t bounce back from a heartbreak in quite the same way as other people. it’s a person who has lived their entire life confined within the borders of a lan...
[Verse 1]
She was landlocked with her family name
By the time that I got there
She was in a state
I took her places
It took adjustment
Just being wanted
[Pre-Chorus]
And we ran before we walked before we crawled before we lay
Swam before she learnt, before she'd even seen the waves
I want the best and nothing less, I led her out so far
I took her deep and let the water have its way
[Chorus]
I had her hands
And everything was good
She could float just like I could
(She could float just like I could)
On our backs
And everything was gold
Should’ve never let her go
I knew she couldn’t float on her own
[Verse 2]
Closed-eye kisses through one-way glass
She watched her reflection
I watched her fall apart
She got sicker
She never breathed
The air like me
[Pre-Chorus]
And we ran before we walked before we crawled before we lay
Swam before she learnt, before she'd even seen the waves
I want the best and nothing less, I led her out so far
I took her deep and let the water have its way
[Chorus]
I had her hands
And everything was good
She could float just like I could
(She could float just like I could)
On our backs
And everything was gold
Should’ve never let her go
I knew she couldn’t float on her own
[Post-Chorus]
(She could float just like I could)
(She could float just like I could)
[Bridge]
Now she's wounded and it’s my fault
She had always been so careful
On my sonar, at the bottom
I will show her to the surface again
[Chorus]
I had her hands
And everything was good
She could float just like I could
(She could float just like I could)
On our backs
And everything was gold
Should’ve never let her go
I knew she couldn’t float on her own
[Outro]
(She could float just like I could)
(She could float just like I could)
