Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the sun
Time we took for granted now that's gone
Oh no is it wrong to speak your mind
If you don’t know
Sound off you better you better
Get off while you can my love
Get enough cause it won't be a lot
Sound off you better
Gone so far but it's not enough
Its on to sounds we know know know
Doing lots and we’re giving more
What we have to show show show
Gone so far but it's not enough
Its on for sounds we know know know
Doing lots and were giving more
What we havе to show show show
Sound off you better you bettеr
Get off while you can my love
Sound off you better you better
Get enough cause it won't be a lot
Spent the summer wasting in the sun inside
