"Whatever Floats Your Boat" lyrics
Sitting in the waiting room
Staring at my phone, at some video
When a nurse shows up
"If you please take right, past that dying child with those droopy eyes, you will be just fine"
And then the doctor comes, listening to both my lungs
Asking if I'm eating right, how long since I exercised
"Everything okay at home?"
"Yeah I guess, but also no
How 'bout you? What floats your boat?"
Whatever floats your boat
Whatever gives you hope
Whatever makes you smile
Whatever gets you by
Whatever floats your boat
(Whoever holds you close)
Talking to my therapist, so hard to feel
Fucking fabulous, yeah that's why I'm here
Then I get outside, rain's just pouring down
Guess I'll wait it out next to this homeless guy
And then he just starts laughing and I'm like "what is happening?"
But we share a smile, I see my life through brand new glasses
There's a silver lining, oh the sun is shining
Then my mother calls and now at 8 she's always crying
And I put my headphones on
Close my eyes and sing along
Whatever floats your boat
Whatever gives you hope
Whatever makes you smile
Whatever gets you by
Whatever floats your boat
Whoever holds you close
Don't, don't, don't let them go
Whatever floats your boat
Whatever gives you hope
Whatever makes you smile
Whatever gets you by
Whatever floats your boat
Whoever holds you close
Don't, don't, don't let them go
Don't, don't, don't let them go
Don't, don't, don't let them go
Don't, don't, don't let them go
Ooh, whatever floats your boat
Whatever gives you hope
Whatever makes you smile
Whatever gets you by
Whatever floats your boat
Whoever holds you close
Walking down the street
Floating in the stream
To a place that reads
Like a drinking dream
Take my hand, don't be mad 'cause I sing away
To a song by a band that you really hate
Nobody's free you know
The future's set in stone
Whatever you believe in doesn't really matter
What you see is now
What you're gonna find
What you feel, oh please just speak your mind
And we're gonna see, what we're gonna see, what we're gonna see
And we're gonna be, who we're gonna be, who we're gonna be
What if I believe everything we feel isn't even real?
'Cause we're gonna see, what we're gonna see, what we're gonna see
Who I'm gonna be, who I wanna be, who I wanna be, who I'm gonna be
Who I'm gonna be, who I wanna be, who I wanna be
Who I'm gonna be, who I wanna be, who I wanna be, who I'm gonna be
Who I'm gonna be, who I wanna be, who I wanna be
To be or not to be, oh please
Oooh, oooh
Who I'm gonna be, who I wanna be, who I wanna be
Who I'm gonna be, who I wanna be, who I wanna be
Who I'm gonna be, who I wanna be, who I wanna be
Oh oh
