lyrics

I backed my car into a cop car the other day
Well, he just drove off, sometimes life's okay
I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh, what did I say?
Well, you just laughed it off and it was all okay

And we'll all float on, okay
And we'll all float on, okay
And we'll all float on, okay
And we'll all float on anyway, well

That fake Jamaican took every last dime with that scam
It was worth it just to learn some sleight of hand
Bad news comes, don't you worry even when it lands
Good news will work its way to all them plans
We both got fired on exactly the same day
Well, we'll float on, good news is on the way

And we'll all float on, okay
And we'll all float on, okay
And we'll all float on, okay

And we'll all float on, alright
Already, we'll all float on
No, don't you worry, we'll all float on, alright
Already, we'll all float on, now, alright
Don't worry, we'll all float on

And we'll all float on, alright
Already, we'll all float on
No, don't you worry, we'll all float on
Even if things get heavy
We'll all float on, alright
Already, we'll all float on
We'll all float on

Your body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in
In my head, and in my heart, in my soul
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again
Well I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I hope

Well that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me. You get away from me
Collect my belongings and left the jail
Thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell
I had to think awhile, I had to think awhile

The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?
In your head, and in your mouth, in your soul
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both grow old
Well I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I hope so

Well that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me. You get away from me
Collect my belongings and left the jail
Thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell
I had to think awhile, I had to think awhile

Well that is that and this is this
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed
When the ocean met the sky
When the earth folded in on itself
You missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye

And said "Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell
Are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath"
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?

The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?
In your head, and in your mouth, in your soul
The more we move ahead the more we're stuck in rewind
Well I don't mind. I don't mind. How the hell could I mind?

Well that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me
You get away from me

Well that is that and this is this
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed,
When the ocean met the sky
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste the afterlife?
