Next Year
Sea of Lettuce Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time keeps running away
And I can always see my friends
Time to go, don′t leave me waiting around again

Cause it feels so nice
Got the sun coming down in my eyes
If we can't stay here
We′ll do it all again next year

So much time
A little money on my mind
Don't you know, you'll do the same the next nights

Time to go
Time to go

Cause it feels so nice
Got the sun going down in my eyes
If we can′t stay here
We′ll do it all again next year

Hey!
