Island (Float Away)

so I just want to say that kenny vasoli is a pioneer of the "drive thru sound." if that makes sense to anybody. the starting line, a new found glory and fenix tx we're just a few of their best and I found it humorous that when the starting line left, drive thru went down hill. eh, oh well.

so for anyone who is interested in my explanation, I feel this song isn't just about a "perfect relationship," respectively, it is about the need and want of said relationship. So in retrospect, this isn't really a perfect relationship at all. I think the two characters (kenny and girl..?) are pretty torn from lack of contact and physical connection. So for anyone who has experienced something of the sort, it makes a lot more sense, I think. There are obviously really strong feelings and a lot of need that aren't being fully fulfilled, but they want to stick by each other.

This is a couple, (falling) in love and wanting to have each other forever. They don't care about circumstances or tribulations. They just need love. :]

Love the song, not sure if I like it quite as much as "Direction" but still, great stuff, can't wait for the new album.

Seems to follow the style of TSL's older stuff, not that that's a bad thing, though "Direction" sort of strayed away a bit. Nice choice for a single

Seems like it could be about Kenny envisioning a perfect situation with a person that has potential of falling apart, though I'm obviously only scratching the surface.

Lyrics look completely right, other than, "if we survive and I'm alive" sounds like "if we survive, get out alive"

i think this song is the BEST tsl song to me!!! i like it just as much as direction but something about it reallly makes me sway...anywho this get to business "lets sail away find our own country we'll build a house and beds out of palm trees lets get away, lets push our lives aside" this pretty much means lets go and get away from everything and live just you and me "i'll sport a smile take in some color under the stars i'll be your lover" he's saying that i'll even be happy and love you more if we just leave...and get a great tan "with no distractions i'm gonna treat you right" with nothing around, and nothing bothering him he can pay attention to her more "just keep a hold of me, don't let go if you float away, if you float away waited so long for a ship to come don't you float away, don't you float away" if you feel like letting go remember that im always here and you don't have to worry about anything "lets go to bed lets stop debating look at the time we're always waiting but we're in love and that should be just fine" evryone should know what this means ;] but it's saying that now that were alone...[fill in blank] "it seems like things are only getting better it seems like we can never catch a break" they're always caught up in things that they don't have time to enjoy things "and if you'd like and if you'd like, some other time i would like to introduce you to the finer things if we survive if we survive and i'm alive i'd like to say how beautiful i think you..." this is pretty much saying that if you ever get the time i can so you thing like never before and that he had a chance too..then he can tell his true feelings to her... and the chours and yeah... so that's what i think it means but i could be wrong (which is a lie cuz im never wrong :]) but im soooo excited fpr the cd and can't wait to see them at warped!!!

i think kenny is just talking about being on an island with someone he loves and he basically makes their situation sound perfect.

this song is a lot like their old stuff, personally i really liked the sound of direction. this is a good song too though.

Lets sail away Find our own country Well build a house and Beds out of palm trees Lets get away Lets push our lives aside

Ill sport a smile Take in some color Under the stars Ill be your lover With no distractions Im gonna treat you right

When it seems like things Are only getting better When it seems like We could never catch a break

Just keep a hold of me Dont let go If you float away Waiting too long For a ship to come Dont you float away

Lets go to bed Lets stop debating Look at the time Were always waiting But were in love And that should be just fine

And If you like Some other time I would like to Introduce you to finer things If we survive Get out alive Id like to say how beautiful I think you are

My favorite song of theirs! I think this song is so sweet! To me it means everything is going well in the relationship except they have the typical distractions and problems, he is telling her not to worry about those things, because they will have a "happily ever after" My favorite line is "just keep a hold of me, don't let go". I want this song to someday be my boyfriend's and mine's. lol.

They rocked at warp! By the way, I think it's Kenny's (the lead singer) best look in the music video for this song! His hair and facial hair looks like Ozzy to me from the t.v. show Survivor. Kenny reminds me of Johnny Depp because he is always changing his look and sometimes looks like a completely different person.

"lets go to bed lets stop debating look at the time we're always waiting but we're in love and that should be just fine"

to respond to what paramore4u said, i dont think this is kenny saying 'oh lets have sex', i think this is him saying 'we are always going back and forth on whether to have sex, so lets just forget about it. we have our love of eachother and thats all we need'.

this is probably my second favorite TSL song, just behind The Best of Me. I'm a sucker for this band ahaha :)

i love this soo much, they always have some good catchy songs and this is definitely one of them.

just keep a hold of me, don't let go if you float away, if you float away waited so long for a ship to come don't you float away, don't you float away

best part of the song

this song is so amazinggg!! i love tsl!! all of there songs are wonderful
