Lyrics
Im floating in the sky now
U never gonna find out
In my head
Cuz it’s in my head
Things goin under my dead skin

Uhh past long time ago

Past gon look at me now
And I got some remorse got some reward
But I ant got screen for tapping shitty screenshots
Yeah self lock down from the web net town
I can do what u think like leaving this asylum
Imma right at the edge of the cliff for one last hit and change my flight

I’m floating in the sky now
(Find me)
U never gonna find out
(Find me )
Cuz it’s in my head
(Find me)

In my head

SPRINGBOARD
With a jump I felt higher
With a springboard I fly
And our palms both reached far out
Into you arms until we pass out

CHORUS
You kind of hold me in a trance
I never really ever really ever had much a chance
I took a firm yet drunken stance
I never really ever really ever had much a chance
You had me with a single glance
I never really ever really ever had much a chance
Lets raise a glass and have a dance

Floating high dreaming higher
Whilst my heart is on fire
Looking down on the doubters
That know nothing about us

CHORUS

With a jump I felt higher
With a springboard I fly
I don't care about perception
This is my true redemption

CHORUS
