Lyrics[]
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm floating
Like I said I would
In the back of a nice car
I'm home sick
But I'm floating
Like you said I would
I'm gettin' everything I wanted, but I'm home sick
[Chorus]
Someone let you hold them and you couldn't hold it in
Somewhere deep down, your heart starts to spin
Someone let you hold them and you couldn't hold it in
Somewhere deep down, your heart starts to spin
[Open Verse]
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm floating
Like I said I would
In the back of a nice car
I'm home sick
But I'm floating
Like you said I would
I'm gettin' everything I wanted, but I'm home sick
[Chorus]
Someone let you hold them and you couldn't hold it in
Somewhere deep down, your heart starts to spin
Someone let you hold them and you couldn't hold it in
Somewhere deep down, your heart starts to spin
[Outro]
And you learn to let it in
Everything
Let it right in
Let it right in
If you're your own best friend
If you're your own best friend
If you're your own best friend
Learn to let it in
