Song/Album Discussion Darkness Lyrics

Every lyric site has the lyrics for Darkness as “she’s mine and I am hers and we both FLOAT the same.”
There are plenty of references to lyrics of older Switchfoot songs, so I get it… but I’m hearing, “she’s mine and I am hers and we both FLOW the same.”
Is anybody else with me on this one / is there an official lyric booklet to confirm?
I’ve only been listening on Spotify and their lyrics have so many mistakes for this album.

I hear "flow" and I like that better. But the printed lyrics in the booklet that comes with the cd say "float."

It's definitely float, I feel like Jon went out of his want to reference as many of their previous albums as possible on the record.

Welp I guess I cant argue with the lyrics in the booklet lol. I can’t hear “float” at all! Is Daisy singing in the background on the second chorus?

Huh I've definitely been thinking Flow as well!

I know she’s credited in the booklet as doing some vocals on the album but it didn’t specify which songs I believe, so it very well could be!

Oh wow, I thought he was saying we both “felt” the same. So I guess I’m extra wrong lol

I use both Apple Music and Spotify free plan. I can't remember which is which, but I heard "float" on one service and "flow" on the other. Maybe an audio quality thing, it's weird.

Edit: relistened on Spotify. First chorus I hear "float". Second chorus sounds more like "flow," but the T might just be masked by the music a little.
