[Verse 1] Life’s up and life’s down And I ride the waves There’s no fun Getting tossed around So I lay back And float on I’m up and I’m down But you’ll never see me Stuck on the ground I just lay back and Take in the sound Giving a grin when I look around [Chorus] I lay back and float on (I lay back and float on) I lay back and float on No need to panic now When the waves crash down I lay back and float on (I lay back and float on) [Verse 2] Knowing life will bring Another round So I just lay back and float on And on And on Maybe this time I’ll take it slow When I hit the next peak Have a bit more to show [Pre-Chorus] Then at the top I’ll look down And see it plain That’s the wrong way to go [Chorus] I lay back and float on (I lay back and float on) I lay back and float on No need to panic now When the waves crash down I lay back and float on (I lay back and float on) [Bridge] Maybe this time I’ll take it slow No rushing past What I don’t know When I hit the next peak Have a bit more to show Then at the top Look down and say That’s the wrong way to go [Final Chorus] I lay back and float on (I lay back and float on) I lay back and float on No need to panic now When the waves crash down I lay back and float on (I lay back and float on)
