I'm pretty sure she said
Somethin' like "Seth, you don't listen enough"
I said, "Yeah, maybe you're right
I can't help it, my mind drifts off
And I'm not really here anymore, but I'll try"
She said "While we're here on the subject
I wanna know why you haven't grown up yet"
I said, "Don't be upset
But I really didn't hear a fuckin' word that you just said"
They said that I'm disconnected
That's cool, my friends are too though
Can't hear a word you're sayin'
We watch it all just float away
I see 'em all comin' my way
And now they wanna take my time
I could tell 'em what's on my mind
Or I could just float away
I am a boy in a bubble (yeah)
I am a boat in a bottle (uh)
I would love to be here right now
But I'm not, I am anywhere else, I am gone
They live life like there ain't no tomorrow
I live life like there ain't no today (Nah)
All around me they beg, steal, borrow
As they quarrel, I just float away, I am gone
Ground control to Major Tom
You can't keep being weird pal, I'm a grown up
I got a beard now, I got a job now
I got a roster, gots to make the boss proud
He said "When you're done cleaning glasses
Make sure that you mop and the bar's swept"
I said "Don't be upset
But I really didn't hear a fuckin' word that you just said"
They said I'm disconnected
That's cool, my friends are too though
Can't hear a word you're sayin'
We watch it all just float away
I see 'em all comin' my way
And now they wanna take my time
I could tell 'em what's on my mind
Or I could just float away
Hey yo, I never really felt like I know much
'Bout being grown up, I am hopeless
High school, I would hang with the stoners
Yeah, I guess it pro'bly takes one to know one
I still spend a lot of time on my lonesome
And money's still tight, can you loan some?
They said I'm disconnected, yeah, I just might be
But all my friends are just like me
I told a girl I wanted to be rapper
Made her laugh, she told me I was a crack up
We were sittin' on the grass in the backyard
Next day faded, drinkin' wine from a jam jar
I said "I don't have the keys to a car yet
But I got a bag of weed and a sunset"
She said "Don't be upset
But I really didn't hear a fuckin' word that you just said"
They said I'm disconnected
That's cool, my friends are too though
Can't hear a word you're sayin'
We watch it all just float away
I see 'em all comin' my way
And now they wanna take my time
I could tell 'em what's on my mind
Or I could just float away
They said I'm disconnected
That's cool, my friends are too though
Can't hear a word you're sayin'
We watch it all just float away
I see 'em all comin' my way
And now they wanna take my time
I could tell 'em what's on my mind
Or I could just float away
