Cloud 9
Sam and Sounds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Scrolling through my phone
I see just what write
Like what do I even type?
Do I even reply?
What is that I see?
Is it a necessity?
Are you trying to hurt me?
Iโ€™ll just leave you on seen
But ooh
Youโ€™re trying, trying, trying
Tryna get me down
So I say
Weโ€™re on cloud 9 looking on the bright side
Living our lives tryna have a good time
Do what you want
Cause weโ€™ve got it all
Cloud 9 looking on the bright side
Living our lives tryna have a good time
Say what you like
Cause weโ€™ll be alright
Youโ€™re not gonna get me down
Or make your parents proud
Are you tryna please the crowd?
I just canโ€™t work it out
Whatโ€™s your motivation?
Did you have some complications?
Getting out pent up frustrations?
Was that your obligation?
But ooh
Youโ€™re trying, trying, trying
Tryna get me down
So I say
Weโ€™re on cloud 9 looking on the bright side
Living our lives tryna have a good time
Do what you want
Cause weโ€™ve got it all
Cloud 9 looking on the bright side
Living our lives tryna have a good time
Say what you like
Cause weโ€™ll be alright
(Weโ€™re on cloud 9, looking on the bright side
Living our lives, tryna have a good time, good time)
Weโ€™re on cloud 9 looking on the bright side
Living our lives tryna have a good time
Do what you want
Cause weโ€™ve got it all
Cloud 9 looking on the bright side
Living our lives tryna have a good time




Say what you like
Cause weโ€™ll be alright
