Sippin' on Sunshine
Avril Lavigne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Buzzin' like a beehive
It's just a little kiss
But when It hits my lips
I'm sippin' on sunshine
Boy you're looking so fly
Hotter than July
I just wanna stay
Sippin' on sunshine
Down at the beach, you holding my hand
Got an umbrella stuck in the sand
Watching the waves crash into the shore
Baby, I want some more
Hey
What a beautiful day
All I need is a taste
Nothin' but a good time
Sippin' on sunshine
No, don't got nowhere to go
So we'll go with the flow
Yeah, we're living the life
Sippin' on sunshine
Sippin' on sunshine
Boy, you blow my mind
You got me up on cloud nine
Just a little taste
I wouldn't wanna waste
A sip of that sunshine
We can kick it all night
Underneath the moonlight
But when the party ends
We'll do it all again
Sippin' on sunshine
Down at the beach, you holding my hand
Got an umbrella stuck in the sand
Watching the waves crash into the shore
Baby, I want some more
Hey
What a beautiful day
All I need is a taste
Nothin' but a good time
Sippin' on sunshine
No, don't got nowhere to go
So we'll go with the flow
Yeah, we're living the life
Sippin' on sunshine
Sippin' on sunshine, sippin' on sunshine
Sippin' on sunshine, sippin' on sunshine
Hey
What a beautiful day
All I need is a taste (a taste so good)
Nothin' but a good time (good time)
Sippin' on sunshine
No, don't got nowhere to go (do, don't)
So we'll go with the flow (hell yeah)
Yeah, we're living the life
Sippin' on sunshine
All day all night
Yeah, good time
Everybody just sippin' on sunshine
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Sippin' on sunshine

She sings about how her boyfriend makes her feel high and how they want to spend their day together at the beach. They're happy, they're in love, and they're content just sipping on sunshine. Lavigne's voice is confident and joyful, and the song's guitar, drums, and hand-claps all work to create a lively, summery sound.

The opening lines of the song serve as a quick summary of the rest of the lyrics. Her boyfriend makes her feel amazing, and when they share a kiss, she feels like she's sipping on sunshine.

In the second verse, they're described as being at the beach, which is a perfect place to escape the world and just be together.
