Lyrics
Neighbors at the window againTalking like the news came inEverybody knows my nameBut nobody gets the story straight
Porch lights, cheap wineSmall town, big liesSame old faces making scenesLike they're still seventeen
Too much smoke in the summer airToo many smiles that don't play fairThey love to talk when the tide gets lowBut we already know
Girls just wanna float awayFind a little peace out on the bayLet the waves calm the drama downWe don't need that noise around
Pour it up, let the moonlight showWho's been real and who's just for showThey can keep that mess on shoreWe ain't sinking with them anymore
He said forever real sweetThen made forever look cheapPretty words, empty soulWanted love he could control
And all the boys downtownStill running wild, still acting proudBut real love don't competeIt don't beg and it don't cheat
Too many whispers dock to dockToo many hands trying to stir the potBut truth comes out when the night moves slowAnd baby, karma knows
Girls just wanna float awayFind a little peace out on the bayLet the waves calm the drama downWe don't need that noise around
Pour it up, let the moonlight showWho's been real and who's just for showThey can keep that mess on shoreWe ain't sinking with them anymore
Let them talk, let them stareWe got warm wind in our hairNo more tears for foolish gamesWe washed all that hurt away
Love don't lie, love don't chaseLove don't need a hiding placeIf it's heavy, let it goWatch it drift out with the smoke
Girls just wanna float awayUnderneath the stars, we're okayMusic low and the water goldFree hearts don't do control
Pour it up, let the whole night glowWe found peace where the river flowsThey can keep that mess on shoreWe ain't sinking with them anymore
Float awayFloat awayNo more drama on the shoreWe ain't sinking anymore
