This is a possible way to do what you want.
Make the text layers 3D, keep the shop 2D, then it will always be in the background.
First add Position keyframes to your text for your basic lift.
Add a Slider (Effect>Expression Control>Slider Control) and name it “Amplitude” (double click “Slider Control” in the Effect Controls Palette and rename).
Add this expression to Position (Copy the expression, Alt Click the Position Stopwatch and Paste):
wiggle (.2,effect(“Amplitude”)(“Slider”))
Add this to Orientation (R):
wiggle (.2,effect(“Amplitude”)(“Slider”)/3)
I divided by three (the “/3”) because it looked better.
Now place keyframes on the slider, one for 0 (zero), where you want the text to lift off (where you initial Position keyframes were set), then down the line set a slider keyframe for what you want the maximum Amplitude (how much wiggle) to be.
This should give you a very controllable floating motion. Tweak to taste (change the .2 to change the frequency of the wiggle, and the slider keyframes to change the Amplitude).
There are other ways to do this, but this should work.

Note: the 2D shop must be below the 3D text.

I am sure I have seen a clip of floating letters in some cow related skit. (creative cow that is). How do you get the letters to peel away and bend? I was under the impression (perhaps wrongly) that you cannot bend a layer?
TIA
