Float Songtext
von Grey Eye Glances

Painted pictures, 2 am
Drifting′s the sound of the rain
Candles shift the walls
Moving sharply, what's left to explain?

When you told me you ought to be going
I could sense how the night was exploding
If I told you that I noticed
If I told you this for certain
You′d see me scarred
Your eyes so strange, so innocent
In a sense it's the way we both are
So don't show me the home you′ve recaptured
Don′t remind me I was there when it shattered

Each time I return to the ocean
I walked on the cold sand
It taught me to float like a bird across the sky
Watching all the moments ease by
Feeling close enough to try


In the darkness, in a shadow
In the places only I know
I run from the rain
My eyes so wide, so desperate
To pull light from the pain

So don't show me I learned my own balance
Don′t remind me my whole world was challenged

Each time I return to the ocean
I close my eyes, I listen
I float like a bird across the sky
Watching all the moments ease by
Feeling close enough to try

Close enough this time
In this strange place
There's no direction to guide us around
The ones that move freely keep to the ground
And in some distant time
When your reflection appears
A stranger from some other day
I′ll know what you're thinking
I′ll feel the same way


Oh, I float like a bird across the sky
Time and time again
I know why I feel close enough to try
I close my eyes and float across the sky
Watching as the moments ease by
So close, close enough to try
