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
Took her deep and let the water have its way

I had her hand
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, eh

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
Took her deep and let the water have its way

I had her hand
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, oh
On my sonar, at the bottom
I will show her to the surface again

I had her hand
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)
