Float - Thomston

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
