Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yesss, ohh summer time is here
Yes it is, feel that sunshine
I'll have a margarita please, extra salt
Thank you
You're beautiful
Have a good one
The sun is out so you know what that means
Get the fam, get the friends and we off to the beach
Isolation's done and vacation has begun
Let's get back to being human and have ourselves some fun, uh
The drinks is poured, hit the store buy a couple more
Music and the weed is loud so the neighbors at the door
They heard they song, brought they bong, now it's a party
Text those girls from last night there's shots for everybody
She wants to live a little before she grows up
He just wants to get some before she throws up
I just wanna know myself before I blow up
But the thing about time is it never slows up, uh
Life is good and it's moments like these
When I'm chilling with the fam living life on the beach
Just underneath the sun, get a tan, feel the breeze
Put a smile on your face let's make some new memories, come on
Ohh!
Watch me sail away
Watch me sail away
Come on, everybody
Watch me sail away
Watch me sail away
Mmm, ohh!
Watch me sail away
Watch me sail away
Ohh!
Watch me sail away
Watch me sail away
I took a visit out to the Pacific
Met a cutie and we kicked it
And she gave the 7 digits
Started at a bar she was looking right here
I went up and got her name, we started talking over beer
I was with my crew
And she was with her's too
So we invited them to our Ocean Avenue
Drinks filled with laughter
Not sure what came faster
Me last night or the hangover after haha
I'm having fun and that's the truth
It's like how u gonna score if u never shoot? (Take the shot)
Life is good and it's moments like these
Put a smile on your face let's make some new memories, come on
You know what I like about the ocean
It treats us all the same
Whether you're rich or poor
It treats us all the same, you know
That's how it should B
We should learn from Mother Nature
Ohh! Come on
Watch me sail away
Watch me sail away
Mmmm, ohh
Watch me sail away
Watch me sail away
Mmm, yesss
Watch me sail away
Watch me sail away
This is my day
This is my day
