    To be perfectly honest i kind of think that this song is very self explanatory i think its pretty much just about a drifter who cant really find a place hes all that happy or comfortable with and keeps moving on and is goin a little crazy because his thoughts are starting to really bother him and are racing so much cuz hes afraid hell never truly find peace and writing it all down and moving kinda helps out with all the trouble and like he says if the worlds at large why should i remain its too large too explore and see all of it and he cant really fit in in this world and i think he might be alittle depressed but remembers that he still has his thoughts and all the new different people he meets " but you still got your words and you got your friends" and really truly does deep deep down hope he'll float on in the end "gonna float on maybe would you understand" maybe saying to a woman or friend that he cant stay because hes a drifter and that she or he says they understand but they'll never truly get it "you said that you did but you didnt understand" thats my little input but if im wrong by all means let me know lol
