[Verse 1]
Imagine breathing in
Imagine leaving all your air behind
What matters in the end
A matter of opinion 'til you find out

[Bridge]
Life can only mean hardly anything
All I'll ever be is partly settled in

[Hook]
They show you how to swim
Then they throw you in the deep end
I've been learning since
But it doesn't mean I'll float, oh, no
I won't float, no, no, no, no, won't float

[Verse 2]
I had a funny sleep
I didn't have a dream 'cause I don't believe in them

[Bridge]
Life can only mean hardly anything
All I'll ever be is partly settled in

[Hook]
They show you how to swim
Then they throw you in the deep end
Well, I've been learning since
But it doesn't mean I'll float, oh, no, no, no
I won't float, no, no, no, no, no, no

[Verse 3]
Float away
Float away, then come right back to me
Float away
Float away, then come right back to me

[Hook]
They show you how to swim
Then they throw you in the deep end
Well, I've been learning since
But that doesn't mean I'll, oh
They show you how to swim
Then they throw you in the deep end
Well, I've been learning since
But it doesn't mean I'll float, no, no, oh, no
I won't float

[Verse 4]
What if I, what if I don't float?
What if I don't float?
I think I'll float
I'll float
I'll float away

The Neighbourhood

Hailing from Newbury Park, California, upstart indie band The Neighbourhood finds its influences as diverse as hip-hop (where lead vocalist Jesse Rutherford had his musical beginnings) and the classic black and white aesthetic that often dominates their music videos and outfits. The current members are Jesse, Jeremy Freedman and Zach Abels (guitarists), Mikey Margott (bassist), and Brandon Fried (drummer). The Neighbourhood is often abbreviated to “The NBHD.” The band are easily recognisable by their signature upside-down house logo, which is tattooed on every band member.

With the release of the extended plays Thank You, and I’m Sorry…, the band accumulated a wide range of fandom appreciation.

Following the rising success of their hit single “Sweater Weather,” the band released their debut album in 2013 entitled I Love You. to a far wider popularity than that which preceded them. The band have also gained traction over the years by touring with artists like Travis Scott, Danny Brown, Imagine Dragons and Charli XCX.
