Around the sun
Poolside Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Guess I've just been having fun
Just another year around the sun
Making it through
Laying back at the end of the day
Got nobody to tell, I'm okay
Forgot the rules of the games we play, but that's fine
I've got nothing to lose, and nothing to find
They might say I'm the losing kind but that's fine
Another year around the sun
Guess I've just been having fun
Just another year around the sun
Making it through
Another year around the sun
Guess I've just been having fun
Just another year around the sun
Making it through
Make it, make it, make it through
Make it, make it, make it through
Make it, make it, make it through
Another year around the sun
Guess I've just been having fun
Just another year around the sun
Making it through
Another year around the sun
Guess I've just been having fun
Just another year around the sun
Making it through
Oh yeah we'll make it through
Oh yeah we'll make it through
Oh yeah we'll make it through
Oh yeah we'll make it through
Yeah we'll make it through

Another year around the sun
I've lived through another year of life
Guess I've just been having fun
And I've enjoyed it
Just another year around the sun
It's nothing out of the ordinary
Making it through
But I've managed to survive
Laying back at the end of the day
As nighttime comes
Got nobody to tell, I'm okay
I have no one to report to, but I'm alright
Forgot the rules of the games we play, but that's fine
I may not know what's expected of me, but that's okay
People say that I lost my mind
Some individuals think I've gone crazy
I've got nothing to lose, and nothing to find
I have nothing to gain, and nothing to lose either
They might say I'm the losing kind but that's fine
Others may consider me a failure, but it doesn't bother me
Make it, make it, make it through
I'll get through it, no matter what
Oh yeah we'll make it through
We'll be alright, together
Yeah we'll make it through
We'll reach the end

This song and the images that come with it have an old-school vibe from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. I was born in the 1970s, so this takes me back to my childhood years in the 70s, my teenage years in the 80s, and my early 20s in the 90s, growing up in California by the beach. It makes me feel nostalgic and lucky to have been born back then.
@JulioeVinny
We loved this song. It's gorgeous.
@cleohu7452

@LonestarPaul
I've listened to this song at least 100 times the past couple of years. The old-skool warm vibe is just incredible, it's such a feelgood tune with just a sprinkle of nostalgia. Thank so much for making this available to the world.
@niktsol
Same here. Reminds me the years when i was a kid back in early 80s
@brasstacksboxing409
@@niktsol indeed, I honestly think that is the trigger for why folks like us enjoy it. Nostalgia is so sweet. And, this smoov jam takes us there.. born In 81.. peace be the journey 2 you, we the last of the "American golden days" .. bikes in the street, forts in the woods, street lights turning on at dawn. Neighbors looking out for each other, pool parties, arcade, pizza parlor, 3 way calls, maps, beepers, long late night phone talks, etc, etc, etc.. take care..
