Lyrics
it’s a beautiful world
but everyone’s insane
either you swim or either you fade
it’s a revolution time
we’re sleeping at the wheel
apocalypse child in a nuclear field
we want to change the world
but not what holds us back
i want to be for you what i’ve never had
and all of this time i was just trying to reach you
through the rain traffic
as you float into space
your white eyes hide your face
as you float in between
i am with you
if you leave
fragile to the waves
vicissitudes of days
when i am with you i feel a little brave
the madness and the wars
the circles that we run
confusion we import look what we have become
and all of this time i was just trying to reach you
through the rain traffic
as you float into space
your white eyes hide your face
as you float in between
i die with you
if you leave
i die with you
i die with you

Band Thoughts:
“We thought it was a perfect song to end the record with, because it just leaves you hanging. It was written about the fragility of children and of youth. It was inspired off one painting that I have of a small child floating in space. Whilst looking for inspiration I was turning my head round my bedroom and that appealed to me. The minute we played it together it just really fit snug. A perfect way to end the record.” -Gavin
“That was inspired by the painting on the wall behind you,’- Gavin (speaking about a picture of a white figure floating- located in his London apartment)
“We wanted to have an uplifting feeling; it ['Float'] made sense at the end of the record in the same way that ‘Solutions’ was the right song to start with.”- Gavin
Staff Thoughts:
“This is a very comfortable ending. I always get an image of beer being filled when hearing this track…”- Brandyn
“I think out of all of the slower moving songs on this album, this would fall at the bottom of the list.It’s just not as distinctive as the others.”- Laura
