From Blue Weekend2021

Lyrics

Time is Not a Straight Line

[Verse 1] I don't learn much more as I grow But I grow when I unlearn what I know I look back through time like it's water Only some things will surface to show [Chorus] What will float? I see your face there underwater What will float? Why does it feel like our love won't? [Verse 2] I stare at my drink on the table like it is an hourglass Ignore the big questions and then the longer my love might last [Chorus] What will float? Numb like our toes in its waters What will float? Why does it feel like our love won't?
