Deegan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Marching on a wave
Oh, I'm a failure
Tryna find his way
And all my best friend's
They're gonna have to find me
'Cause on my death bed
I'll be last at sea
Be, be, be, be, be, be, be, wow
Happy as can be
Be, be, be, be, be, be, be, wow
I guess I gotta go back home
I guess I gotta go make my own
A hause made of sticks and stones
The roof fell down an it broke my bones
But now I'm as a loss for words
Unless they're all
Abs-urd
Take at they sheep who heard
When the wind picks up
They could fly with the birds
My señorita's at home
And she's waiting for me
Make margaritas so me can have fun
She got lonely at shore
While I wass at sea
I traded my phone for the sun
But when the waves crash down
I'll be ok
I'll find my way back home and day
And when the wave calm down
Alone at sea at my own pace
I'm a sailor
Marching on a wave
Oh, I'm a failure
Tryna find his way
And all my best friend's
They're gonna have to find me
'Cause on my death bed
I'll be last at sea
Happy as can be
Be, be, be, be, be, be, be, wow
Happy as can be
Be, be, be, be, be, be, be, wow
