Slept In
Island View Drive Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got no reason to wake up, got no place to be
got the sun through my window, not a cloud I can see
I forgot all my problems, I forgot to be sad
can I stay here forever, we'll never know that
let's go, feel it when it's breaking I'm bursting up with flavor
I'm weakening at the seams, I can't wait to go out and hit the lake girl
won't you come with me, I've got no worries, and I got my guitar
just a simple melody, let it reach in your heart
I won't hear your complaining, no it won't get me down




but I can't explain it, it's what I've found
