Island In the Sun
Nohien and Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well now my engine's overheating
A summer traffic jam
I'll be late for work again
But I'm doin' the best that I can
Don't you look away baby
My life just ain't what it seems
I got such big dreams baby
My heart's bustin' at the seams
Everybody wants a day in the sun
Like gold tequila shootin' summer fun
I wanna be your number one… your son of a gun
Everybody wants a day in the sun
Don't try to tell me that my race has run
Nothin's over baby, nothin's done… til we have won 
Everybody wants one… day in the sun
Day in the sun with you baby
Day in the sun with you
Day in the sun with you
I saw you dancin' at the beach bar baby
I'm trying to catch your eye
Got a feeling it's our magic moment
Don't let it pass us by
I'm a piece 'a work in progress baby
But I'm tryin' not to let it show
You're my dream come true baby
A dream I can't let go
Everybody wants a day in the sun
Like gold tequila shootin' summer fun
Wanna be your number one… your son of a gun
Everybody wants a day in the sun
Don't try to tell me that my race has run
Nothin's over baby, nothin's done… til we have won 
Everybody wants one… day in the sun
Day in the sun with you baby
Day in the sun with you
Day in the sun with you
I'm a piece 'a work in progress baby
But I'm tryin' not to let it show
You're my dream come true baby
A dream I can't let go
Everybody wants a day in the sun
Like gold tequila shootin' summer fun
Wanna be your number one… your son of a gun
Everybody wants a day in the sun
Don't try to tell me that my race has run
Nothin's over baby, nothin's done… til we have won 
Everybody wants one… day in the sun
Day in the sun with you baby
Day in the sun with you
Day in the sun with you baby
Day in the sun with you
Day in the sun with you
Day in the sun with you baby
Day in the sun with you




Day in the sun with you baby
Day in the sun with you

The themes of love and summer are further cemented with the lines "the water looks so inviting, I knew some day I'd be giving my heart away."
