Lyrics
Float Away
VERSE ONE
We can take a boat to the house
And pack up our things, but leave our doubts
We can pack a suitcase full of memories that we have made
We'll leave all the pain behind, take only pictures of happy times
We can reach land and build our lives while the rest goes down the stream
CHORUS
Then we could float away, float away
You could float away with me
You could float away, float away
You could float way with me
VERSE TWO
We could rent a place in town
The kids won't know the difference when their grown
We could build a home from the ground
And decorate with pieces that make us proud
BRIDGE
When we turn old and grey
And the ones we love try to take it all away
When it seems like no one's on our side
And our children are off living their own lives
When there's no strength left to fight
They've taken all you've worked for all your life
There will come a day when they know they were wrong
When it's too late for redemption to come
CHORUS
We could float away, float away
You could float away with me
And we could sail away 'till we reach the sea
And go to all the places we'd hoped we'd see
Let's just float away, float away
You could float away with me
Let's just float away
