Float Away

I'm pretty sure she said something like

"Seth, you don't listen enough"

I said, "Yeah, maybe you're right

I can't help it, my mind drifts off

And I'm not really here anymore, but I'll try"

She said, "While we're here on the subject

I wanna know why we haven't grown up yet"

I said, "Don't be upset

But I really didn't hear a fuckin' word that you just said"

They said I'm disconnected

That's cool, my friends are, too, though

Can't hear a word you're sayin'

We watch it all just float away

I see 'em all comin' my way

Now they wanna take my time

I can tell 'em what's on my mind

Or I could just float away

I am the boy in a bubble

I am a boat in a bottle

I would love to be here right now

But I'm not, I am anywhere else, I am gone

They live life there ain't no tomorrow

I live life like there ain't no today

All around me, they beg, steal, borrow

As they quarrel, I just float away, I am gone

Ground control to Major Tom, you can't keep being weird, pal

I'm a grown-up, I got a beard now

I got a job now

I got a roster, gots to make the boss proud

He said, "When you're done cleaning glasses

Make sure that you mop and the bar's swept"

I said, "Don't be upset

But I really didn't hear a fuckin' word that you just said"

They said I'm disconnected

That's cool, my friends are, too, though

Can't hear a word you're sayin'

We watch it all just float away

I see 'em all comin' my way

Now they wanna take my time

I can tell 'em what's on my mind

Or I could just float away

Ayo, I never really felt like I know much

'Bout bein' grown up, I am hopeless

High school, I would hang with the stoners

Yeah, I guess it prolly takes one to know one

I still spend a lot of time on my lonesome

And money's still tight, can you loan some

They said I'm disconnected, yeah, I just might be

But all my friends are just like me

I told a girl I wanted to be a rapper

Made her laugh, she told me I was a cracker

We were sittin' on the grass in the backyard

Next day faded drinkin' wine from a jam jar

I said, "I don't have the keys to a car yet

But I got a bag of weed and a sunset"

She said, "Don't be upset

But I really didn't hear a fuckin' word that you just said"

They said I'm disconnected

That's cool, my friends are, too, though

Can't hear a word you're sayin'

We watch it all just float away

I see 'em all comin' my way

Now they wanna take my time

I can tell 'em what's on my mind

Or I could just float away

They said I'm disconnected

That's cool, my friends are, too, though

Can't hear a word you're sayin'

We watch it all just float away

I see 'em all comin' my way

And now they wanna take my time

I can tell 'em what's on my mind

Or I could just float away
