The Shadowboxers - Float On By

Float on by
Float on by

It’s good to be a lover
It hurts to be loved
It hurts to be a story
(Stay up)

It’s good to stay open
But then you’re exposed
To all of this closing
(Hold up)

So I could say I love you
And you could say it back
And we could both mean it
(Stay up)

Isn’t it heavy
That one of these days
It could just be part of our routine?
(Hold up)

It’s body and soul
It’s yes and it’s no
So I'm letting it go
'Cause everyone knows
That nobody knows
So I'm letting it go

If I could just hang up
And start again
I’d fuck up all the same shit
(Stay up)

'Cause life is like a puzzle
That you gotta solve
Without all of the pieces
(Hold up)

You could actually be an astronaut
Looking back at Earth
Thinking: How did I not see this?
(Stay up)

Or you could be in LA
Staring at your bills
Wearing a brand new t-shirt
(Hold up)

It comes and it goes
It’s hot and it’s cold
So I'm letting it go
(You could try less)
'Cause everyone knows
That nobody knows
So I'm letting it go (just coast)

And I’ll just float on by (so I'm letting it go)
And I’ll just float on by

So I try to stop the future
From leaning on the past
But it never really works for me
(Stay up)

The longer that you’re something
The more you forget
That isn’t what you have to be
(Hold up)

I mean, you could be an analyst
Of analysis
You could be mad at your computer
(Stay up)
Or you could just steal something
And turn up all the noise
And pass it off as something newer
(Hold up)

It’s body and soul
It’s yes and it’s no
So I'm letting it go
(You could be hopeless, way up high)
'Cause everyone knows
That nobody knows
So I'm letting it go

And I’ll just float on by (so I'm letting it go)
And I’ll just float on by

Stay up
