Sail On
K-Salaam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I turned it upside down
about to lose a fight
turning daylight into night
I always wanted to sail you like water
please sail me too
I want to sail you, I do
It looks alright to me
to lose our sight and see
how everything once fast
turns into what will last
I always wanted to sail you like water
please sail me too
I want to sail you, I do
And when we reach the sun
I'll burn the boat we're on
what a sight to see
as I sail you and you sail me
If anything goes wrong
when rattlesnakes make fun
of memories, I tried
to sail you when I died
I always wanted to sail you like water
please sail me too
I want to sail you, I do
I always wanted to sail you like water
please sail me too
I want to sail you
I want to sail you, I do
