Lyrics

Floating Through Space
George Goodridge
© words and music 1996



Did you push yourself just a little too far
You know what you want
But do you know who you are
Under your coat you say you're doing fine
But the better the suit then the harder the climb

Did you pretend to defend all the ships
That one day maybe leave you behind
Or did you propose to say nothing at all
And keep a little thing on the side

Chorus
We're just floating through space with the whole human race
Bigger wheels turning around
Look for your place
Not at the scenery
Try to keep your feet on the ground

Well most of your dreams are just part of a scene
Even if it's some inner call
So what is this quest to be best of the best
Couldn't be just one of the rest

So you're washing your hands and decoding the blame
Placing your bets
Yeah we all do the same

What would you do with a gun in your hand,
And what would you be
A mouse or a man

Tell me doctor
Do you think I'll be okay
I tried to find the answers in my dreams of younger days
So could you give me something
So this pain would go away
But the pain doesn't pass
Man it's kicking my ass
I hope it's not here to stay

So did you call to comfort me
Or to change my point of view
I spent my day with the earth and sea
Like the days before I knew

I know I've got nothing to hide
No use digging deeper inside
But what is the use of this misspent youth
Well I guess I knew what I would find

Chorus
We're just floating through space with the whole human race
Bigger wheels turning around
Look for your place
Not at the scenery
Try to keep your feet on the ground
