Lyrics Float - Thomston

Float

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
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 it’s way
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
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
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 it’s way
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
She could float just like I could
She could float just like I could
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
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
She could float just like I could
She could float just like I could
