Float Away Songtext
von Seth Sentry

I′m pretty sure she said
Somethin' like "Seth, you don′t listen enough"
I said, "Yeah, maybe you're right
I can't help it, my mind drifts off
And I′m not really here anymore, but I′ll try"

She said "While we're here on the subject
I wanna know why you haven′t grown up yet"
I said, "Don't be upset
But I really didn′t hear a fuckin' word that you just said"

They said that I′m disconnected
That's cool, my friends are too though
Can't hear a word you′re sayin′
We watch it all just float away
I see 'em all comin′ my way
And now they wanna take my time
I could tell 'em what′s on my mind
Or I could just float away


I am a boy in a bubble (yeah)
I am a boat in a bottle (uh)
I would love to be here right now
But I'm not, I am anywhere else, I am gone
They live life like there ain′t no tomorrow
I live life like there ain't no today (Nah)
All around me they beg, steal, borrow
As they quarrel, I just float away, I am gone

Ground control to Major Tom
You can't keep being weird pal, I′m a grown up
I got a beard now, I got a job now
I got a roster, gots to make the boss proud
He said "When you′re done cleaning glasses
Make sure that you mop and the bar's swept"
I said "Don′t be upset
But I really didn't hear a fuckin′ word that you just said"

They said I'm disconnected
That′s cool, my friends are too though
Can't hear a word you're sayin′
We watch it all just float away
I see ′em all comin' my way
And now they wanna take my time
I could tell ′em what's on my mind
Or I could just float away


Hey yo, I never really felt like I know much
′Bout being grown up, I am hopeless
High school, I would hang with the stoners
Yeah, I guess it pro'bly takes one to know one
I still spend a lot of time on my lonesome
And money′s still tight, can you loan some?
They said I'm disconnected, yeah, I just might be
But all my friends are just like me

I told a girl I wanted to be rapper
Made her laugh, she told me I was a crack up
We were sittin' on the grass in the backyard
Next day faded, drinkin′ wine from a jam jar
I said "I don′t have the keys to a car yet
But I got a bag of weed and a sunset"
She said "Don't be upset
But I really didn′t hear a fuckin' word that you just said"

They said I′m disconnected
That's cool, my friends are too though
Can′t hear a word you're sayin'
We watch it all just float away
I see ′em all comin′ my way
And now they wanna take my time
I could tell 'em what′s on my mind
Or I could just float away

They said I'm disconnected
That′s cool, my friends are too though
Can't hear a word you′re sayin'
We watch it all just float away
I see 'em all comin′ my way
And now they wanna take my time
I could tell ′em what's on my mind
Or I could just float away
