Lyrics

Float Away--Written By Laura Roppé

She says, I think I'll go home
Turn off the telephone
Take a little pill to cope
And float away
Forget about the day

She keeps telling herself
She's doing just fine
If she lights some candles
Drinks a glass of wine
She can float
Float away

She's not sure how she got to this place
World is crashing down
All mixed up, lettin' go, givin' up
Never thought she'd end up getting wasted
Losin' faith
Floatin' away

She says, this life's too heavy
I've reached the breaking point
If I check out now
I can leave it all behind
And float
Float away

But she hears the voice
Of her little girl
Only thing that matters
In this whole world
Gotta find a way
Not to fade away

She's not sure how she got to this place
World is crashing down
All mixed up, lettin' go, givin' up
Never thought she'd end up getting wasted
Losin' faith
Floatin' away




Hold on, for one more day
Hold on, for one more day
Hold on, for one more day

Hold on, for one more day
Hold on, for one more day
Hold on, for one more day

She's not sure how she got to this place
World is crashing down
Gotta have faith it'll be all right
Too much to lose if she loses this fight
Baby growing up ashamed all her life
If she goes away
If she fades away
Won't float away
No, won't float away

Hold on, for one more day
Hold on, for one more day
Hold on, for one more day
