Walk in the Sun
McFly Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wonder what it's like to be loved by you
I wonder what it's like to be home
And I don't walk where there's a stone in my shoe
All I know is that with time I'll be fine

I wonder what it's like to fly so high
Or to breathe under the sea
I wonder if some day I'll be good with goodbyes

But I'll be okay if you come along with me

Such a long, long way to go
Where I'm going I don't know
I'm just following the road
For a walk in the sun
For a walk in the sun

I wonder how they put a man on the moon
I wonder what it's like up there
I wonder if you'll ever sing this tune
All I know is the answer's in the air

Such a long, long way to go
Where I'm going I don't know
I'm just following the road
For a walk in the sun
For a walk in the sun

Sitting here watching the world going by
Is it true when we die we go up to the sky
Whoa
Whoa
So many things that I don't understand
Burnt feet in the sand when I'm walking in the sun
Whoa
Walking in the sun

Such a long, long way to go
And where I'm going I don't know
I'm just following the road
For a walk in the sun
For a walk in the sun
Yeah

Whoa
