Float Away

(album: This Was Tomorrow - 2012)

I'm pretty sure she said something 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 fucking word that you just said"

They say I'm disconnected
That's cool, my friends are too though
Can't hear a word you're saying
We watch it all just float away
I see 'em all coming 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 the boy in the bubble
I am a boat in a bottle
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
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 fucking word that you just said"

They say I'm disconnected
That's cool, my friends are too though
Can't hear a word you're saying
We watch it all just float away
I see 'em all coming 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
About being grown up, I am hopeless
High school, I would hang with the stoners
Yeah, I guess it probably 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 sitting on the grass in the backyard
Next day faded, drinking 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 fucking word that you just said"

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