Barely Floating Lyrics by Tall Travis

Witness This!

2023

You know I really wonder, just when I’m going under, ‘cause I can’t keep floating with all that’s on my mind
Guess they really meant it, I’m only fully present, with the help of five little different colored pills
Time’s squeezing through my fingers, your love is like a splinter, and I just can’t get it out no matter how hard I pry
You finally look behind you
I know settlin’ ain’t your style
I can’t follow you forever
Just smile your tired smile
My brain is broken dishes, and dusty empty wishes, and I can’t seem to get around to put them on the curb
Laughing in the kitchen, your friеndship’s my religion, but I have a feeling that it’s all gonna fade
Feeling kinda funny, whеn you call me honey, I know you don’t mean it but it always makes me smile
I need to find a center
I need something to cling onto
I know you don’t deserve me
And I certainly don’t deserve you
I need to do some thinking
I need a little more sleep
I can’t spend my youth unrequited
While the rug rips out underneath
You know I’m kinda achin’, to hear that window scrapin’, too bad the ground is only just one story below
I’m foragin’ for quarters, so I don’t have to cross a border, just to have a clean shirt to put upon my back
To see your toothy smile, I put a hundred miles, on my tires as they turn slowly running out of air
You finally look behind you
I know settlin’ ain’t your style
I can’t follow you forever
Just smile your tired smile
These nights it doesn’t do it, the way our stoop looks moonlit, it’s much more lonely without you beside me
No traffic to listen rumble, in to bed I stumble, as I hear the bell tower downtown only strike once
I want to break the cycle, but the waves border tidal, won’t you come back around to pull me out again?
I need to find a center
I need something to cling onto
I know you don’t deserve me
And I certainly don’t deserve you
I need to do some thinking
I need a little more sleep
I can’t spend my youth unrequited
While the rug rips out underneath
I need to find a center
I need something to cling onto
I know you don’t deserve me
And I certainly don’t deserve you
I need to do some thinking
I need a little more sleep
I can’t spend my youth unrequited
While the rug rips out underneath
You know I really wonder, just when I’m going under, ‘cause I can’t keep floating with all that’s on my mind
You know I really wonder, just when I’m going under, ‘cause I can’t get outta my mind
