Float, Bush

"Float"
it's a beautiful world
everyone's insane
either you swim
either you fade

it's a revolution time
we're sleepin' at the wheel
apocalypse child
in a nuclear field

we wanna change the world
but not what holds us back
i want to be for you
what i've never had

all of this time
i'm just tryin' to reach you
through the rain traffic
as we float into space
your wide eyes
hide your face
as we float inbetween
i am with you
if you bleed

Fragile to the waves
Vicissitudes of days
when i am with you
i feel a little brave

the madness and the wars
the circles that we run
confusion we import
look what we have become

all of this time
i was just trying to reach you
through the rain traffic
as we float into space
your wide eyes
hide your face
as we float inbetween
i'd die with you
if you bleed
as we float

as we float into space
your wide eyes
hide your face
as we float inbetween
i'd die with you
if you bleed

as we float
i'd die with you
i'd die with you
i'd die with you


A beautifully written song and lyrically impeccable. Not your average love song. To me its a song about a couple where the person the song is written about doesn't understand the power they have over the person singing. Maybe they feel they don't deserve it, or aren't capable of a relationship or are just insecure.

This song hits home because its runs parallel with my life and current relationship. My favorite line is, "Your wide eyes, hide your face". Below is a great live version enjoy...
