Sit on a train reading a book
Same damn planet every time I look
Try to relax, slow my heartbeat
Only works when I'm dead asleep
Been thinking, and drinking all over the town
Must be gearing up for some kind of meltdown

All I am is
A body floating downwind
All I am is
A body floating downwind

What's wrong?
Nothing
Are you sure nothing's wrong?
Yeah
But you're sad about something
Yeah
So tell me what
I don't know

I can't tell you
I can't tell you
I can't tell you
I can't tell you

All I am is
A body floating downwind
All I am is
A body floating downwind

Sit on a train reading a book
Same damn planet every time I look
Try to relax, slow my heartbeat
Only works when I'm dead asleep
Been thinking, and drinking all over the town
Must be gearing up for some kind of meltdown

As the express train passes the local
It moves by just like a paper boat
Although it weighs a million pounds
I swear it almost seems to float

And as we pass by each other
Our heads all full of bother
We can't look we can't stop
We can't think we can't stop
'Cause we're stuck in our own past
And it's the way it always lasts
And I need something more from you

All I am is
A body floating downwind
All I am is
A body floating downwind
Floating downwind
