歌词
[Verse 1]
I backed my car into a cop car the other day
Well, he just drove off, sometimes life's okay
I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh, what did I say?
Well, you just laughed it off, it was all okay
[Chorus]
And we'll all float on, okay
And we'll all float on, okay
And we'll all float on, okay
And we'll all float on anyway, well
[Verse 2]
A fake Jamaican took every last dime with that 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 exactly the same day
Well, we'll float on, good news is on the way
Bring it on, here we are, win or lose, win or lose
Win or lose, win or lose, win or lose, win or lose
Win or lose, win or lose, I can't say
[Chorus]
And we'll all float on, okay
And we'll all float on, okay
And we'll all float on, okay
And we'll all float on, alright
Already, we'll all float on
No, don't you worry, we'll all float on, alright
Already, we'll all float on, alright
Don't worry, we'll all float on
[Bridge]
(Alright, already) And we'll all float on
Alright, already, we'll all float on, alright
Don't worry, even if things end up a bit too heavy
We'll all float on
Alright, already, we'll all float on [I'm told don't function and listen everyday]
Alright, already, we'll all float on [The worlds' still going strong]
Okay, don't worry, we'll all float on [I lose hair]
Even if things get heavy, we'll all float on [while living here]
Alright, already, we'll all float on (Alright!) [float on]
Now don't you worry, we'll all float on (Alright!)
We'll all float on

多添一点：
今天分享一首Modest Mouse（谦虚老鼠乐队）的 《Float On》
今天来首触底反弹的歌曲，希望所有不顺利的伙伴们可以随之漂浮起来。这首歌来自谦虚老鼠的第四张完整专辑《Good News for People Who Love Bad News》，该专辑于2004年发行。发行专辑之前将这首歌作为单曲发行。发行近半年后，这首歌成为了乐队在公告牌现代摇滚歌曲排行榜上的第一名。在澳大利亚，这首歌在2004年《Triple J》最热100首歌曲中排名第11位。在2009年7月，它还在Triple J's最热100的歌曲榜单中排名第94位。这首歌被提名为2005年格莱美最佳摇滚歌曲，但该奖项授予了U2乐队的《Vertigo》。
但这首歌包括这张专辑的创作过程却是他们最低谷的时刻。乐队在陌生的波特兰市租了房子来创作歌曲，六个月都没有进展，于是，他们决定去录音室找找感觉。结果，给鼓手找的精神崩溃了，直接离开了。之后，他们只能利用以前弄好的素材重新做一个新东西。他们没找自己熟悉的人录音制作，而是找了个从未见过的制作人Dennis Herring。但，最终完成了专辑。
在采访中主唱Isaac Brock谈到了这首歌的积极意义，这是乐队早期沉闷歌曲的一个转变。
他总结说到：“我有点受够了过去糟糕的事情，所有事情都那么黑暗，到处都是坏消息。我们的总统[George W. Bush]就是每天该死的一剂坏消息！善意的科学家，也告诉我们一切都是一团糟。我只想开心一天。我有一些朋友去世了，杰里米(Jeremiah Green)也失去了理智……当我们走出那个黑暗的地方，随着乐队的发展，我只想做一张积极的唱片。我认为我们成功地创造了四分之一，剩下的要么有点黑暗，要么更放松，顺其自然。”
这首歌的MV也很有意思。
