Float On :: Modest Mouse

I backed my car into a cop car the other day
Well he just drove off sometimes life's ok
I ran my mouth off a bit too much oh what can i say
Well you just laughed it off it was all ok

And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on any way well

Well, a fake Jamaican took every last dime with a scam
It was worth it just to learn some sleight-of-hand
Bad news comes don't you worry even when it lands
Good news will work its way to all them plans
We both got fired on the exactly the same day
Well we'll float on good news is on the way

And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on alright
Already we'll all float on
Now don't worry we'll all float on
Alright already we'll all float on
Alright don't worry we'll all float on

And we'll all float on alright
Already we'll all float on
Aliright don't worry even if things end up a bit to heavy
we'll all float on alright
Already we'll all float on
Alright already we'll all float on
Ok don't worry we'll all float on
Even if things get heavy we'll all float on
Alright already we'll all float on
Don't you worry we'll all float on
All float on

This is probably one of my favorite songs i have ever heard and it always makes me feel better when i am having a bad day. If my day is going bad when i get off the bus and walk home i listen and strut to the music :). By the time I walk through the front door of my house i always feel better. By the way jeni i think this is probably one of the coolest type of bible studies i have ever done we should do this more often

I think this is one of the most amazing songs that I have EVER heard in my life. When I here the song or I think about it many different things come in my mind. One I think is just life its self but at the same time not in a negative way, even though some people dont look at it as good, I think of it as at some point in our lives that we will see that everything is going to turn out not just because of a certian reason or anything but because of the path we chose to go down. And after one bad things happens something good will follow after it maybe not right away but sooner or later we just have to wait and not worry about it and live our lives happy and not let the small things get us down. And at some point we will go to a different place from here but it'll be ok. =]

To me this song is saying that everything bad that happens in our lives happen for a reason and that eventually it will always get better. It makes me wonder "if something didn't happen in my past who would I be today?" "If I hadn't met my friends would I be able to make it through the day without falling apart?" ....I guess what I'm tring to say is that even the darkest night ends with a bright sunrise. I cant wait for the next post Jeni^_^ Great idea!!!
