"Afloat" lyrics

"Afloat"

She rides home with a couple of friends
They all laugh at a text they just sent
Cause she'd do anything just to belong
He wakes up still in his clothes
There's a knock on the door
Do his parents know
What it's like to always be alone?

I'm clinging to a shirt you always use to wear
That Summer got your number and you made me swear
That I would always be there
Skipping classes in the morning we'd go anywhere
All the secrets and the burdens that we use to share
Still I will always be here
But on my darkest day I'll stay afloat

Their just words written down by some kids
They probably don't even know what they did
But this time she might never let it go
It's just a game and some guys with a ball
The blood and bruises aren't because of the falls
And this time he might never let it go

I'm clinging to a shirt you always use to wear
That Summer got your number and you made me swear
That I would always be there
Skipping classes in the morning we'd go anywhere
All the secrets and the burdens that we use to share
Still I will always be here
But on my darkest day I'll stay afloat

We could be, anything
We've got to protect and we've got to hold on
If we could see, what we mean
You and I can stay afloat
I pray that you can stay afloat

Staring at the shirt you always use to wear
The Summer changed your number and you cut your hair
Said I will always be there
Skipping classes in the morning lets go anywhere
All the secrets and the burdens that are left to share
Still I will always be here
And on my darkest day
On our darkest day
We will find a way to stay afloat
