Sail
Noosa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wish we never left,
Did we only just begun?
Holding in my heart, ever second now
It's time! Oh, oh, oh
Looking to the stars and asking for the sun
Wish we never left,
Did we only just begun?
Airplanes flying to see your face
Something golden falls into place
Oh, oh, oh

We could go far somewhere and stay
Warm sun, ocean, time is broken

Where would you sail away?
Come sail away with me!
Where would you sail away?
Come sail away with me!

Do you cry when you saw it happen?
I know I did, and I can't hide it
Real life, dreaming and now we're awake
Separate, so still nothing feels real

Where would you sail away?
Come sail away with me!
Where would you sail away?
Come sail away with me!

Where would you sail away?
Come sail away with me!
Where would you sail away?
Come sail away with me!

Where would you sail away?
Come sail away with me!
Where would you sail away?
Come sail away with me!

Wish I never left,
Did it only just begun?
Holding in my heart, every second now
It's done!
Looking to the stars and asking for the sun




Wish we never left,
Did we only just begun?

Overall Meaning

The song "Sail" by Noosa conveys a sense of longing for a place that may have been visited before or simply imagined. The opening lines, "Wish we never left, did we only just begun?", suggest regret for an opportunity lost or not taken. The notion of time is also emphasized throughout the song, particularly in the line, "Holding in my heart, every second now it's done", which suggests that time is fleeting and moments once cherished may be gone forever.


The chorus, "Where would you sail away? Come sail away with me!", is a call to adventure and beckons the listener to embark on a journey of discovery and self-reflection. The repeated use of the phrase "Come sail away with me" is inviting and creates a sense of urgency, as if the singer is trying to convince someone to take an important step before it's too late.


The second verse brings to mind a sense of nostalgia and yearning. The line, "Real life, dreaming and now we're awake, separate, so still nothing feels real", suggests a desire for a place or state of mind where things are more simple and less complicated. The idea of sailing away to warmer places, with the sun on your face and a feeling of freedom is a common theme in pop culture, and this song plays into that idea.


Overall, "Sail" by Noosa is a beautifully crafted song with a deep sense of yearning for a place that may not exist in reality. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world that is far away and may only exist in our imaginations.
