about

Afloat is a suavely biting meditation on the times, and these are some crazy times we're living through! So here's to that magic that keeps us afloat! Featuring the vocal stylings of Julia Timmons, this track has a chill-out jazzy vibe.

lyrics

Afloat

Lost in a haze
Of these crazy days
Can’t see straight
With everything crashing though my gate

The earth is spinning at great pace
Casting us into outer space
Out of sync
On a brink
The whole world could use a drink

Don’t you know
Don’t you know
You’re the magic keeping me afloat
Afloat
Afloat
You’re the magic keeping me afloat

Common sense ’s been exiled at cape fear
While history sheds a tear
Strange to think that after all this time
Humankind can still act so unkind

Will we ever grow beyond the urge
To destroy what’s on the path we forge?
Despite all of the obstacles we face
Love remains our saving grace

Don’t you know
Don’t you know
You’re the magic keeping me afloat
Afloat
Afloat
You’re the magic keeping me afloat

You’re the magic keeping me afloat

Don’t you know
Don’t you know
Don’t you know
You’re the magic keeping me afloat
Don’t you know
Don’t you know
You’re the magic keeping me afloat
Afloat
Afloat

Afloat
Afloat
You’re the magic keeping me afloat
