Warm night, drive you home for the first time No words, just stare into the night sky So in love that we didn't even need to explain Stopped the car said you didn't want to go home Said your parents didn't mind if you were out alone And we could drive through the night, chase the morning away
I said your parents love you so And I told them I would have you home by ten But just because tonight is over Doesn't mean that this is the end So hear me
Float away, float away, float away now We'll be okay, be okay, be okay now And we can take it day by day, we'll take it day by day And things will change, things will change, things will change now But we'll remain just the same, just the same now And I'm not here to make you stay So darling, float away
Time was never on our side Still kids yeah we never even tried Growing up giving it to the conformity Uniformed as a service to my will Called away to the hurting and the ill Blink of the eye and I'm holding you before I leave I told her that I love her so And God will put us where we need to be Pushing through the tears she said "I know, But why doesn't He want you with me?" And I say

Dark room where the doctor gave the news He said "the last thing she'll remember is you, But then your name, then your face, everything will fade soon" Quiet dinner at our table for two Held her hand and told her we can make it through I heard her whisper "I'm afraid to forget you"
She said "you're everything I know, I'm terrified of what I can't control, But now I have to let you go" So I say
Float away, float away, float away now I'll be okay, be okay, be okay now And I can take it day by day, I'll take it day by day And things will change, things will change, things will change now But we'll remain just the same, just the same now And I'm not here to make you stay So darling, float away
