"I want to feel again, won't speak without a case, won't
live without a dream, won't love without embrace"
Afloat is about the feeling of aimlessness and the search
for a life without doubt. I wrote it when I went on a solo trip
to London. The whole time I was there I felt like I was
looking at my life from a distance without actually living it.
I get nervous and anxious when I can't set a clear goal for
myself and in that time I was completely lost.
lyrics
AFLOAT
I’m afloat
From above I watch myself
give up on love
I want to feel again
Won’t speak without a case
Won’t live without a dream
Won’t love without embrace
In between lights and leaving I need to know
If you’re the one I’m supposed to be with
Doubt no more
Doubt no more
Grazed by wind
I search for signs of your imprint
to rest my soul on
I want to feel again
Won’t speak without a case
Won’t live without a dream
Won’t love without embrace
In between lights and leaving I need to know
If you’re the one I’m supposed to be with
Doubt no more
I do not want to reason
I need to feel it in my bones
Feel again or stay afloat
