Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We wanted to find love
We wanted success
Until nothing was enough
Until my middle name was excess
[Verse 2]
And somehow I lost touch
When you went out of sight
When you got lost into the city
Got lost into the night
[Verse 3]
I was in need of help
Heading to black out
Till someone told me
"Run on in honey"
"Before somebody blows your goddamn brains out
[Verse 4]
You shop-lifted as a child
I had a model's smile
You carried all my hopes
Until somethin' broke inside
[Verse 5]
But now
We float
Take life as it comes
We float
Take life as it comes
[Verse 6]
So will we die of shock?
Die without a trial
Die on Good Friday
While holding each other tight
[Verse 7]
This is kind of about you
This is kind of about me
We just kind of lost our way
We were looking to be free
[Verse 8]
But one day
We'll float
Take life as it comes
We'll float
Take life as it comes
[Verse 9]
But one day
We'll float
Take life as it comes
But one day
We'll float
Take life as it comes
But one day
