Island In The Sun
Shwayze ft Cisco Adler Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Said it a million times, I hate to see cryin.
I'd give a million lives to see you smilin'.
If it were you and I stuck on an island
think I'd be smiling.

Yo, if it were just you and I play the best of Bob Marley, no woman no cry
I make a guitar out of palm trees in case you crash-landed and you couldn't find your iPod
Make a wish upon a starfish, kiss under the waterfall, coconut sidedish, like paradise lost, but now I'm found.

Everytime I get a little bit closer you drift so far away,
Everytime I get a little bit closer you leave me right here.
Everytime I get a little bit closer you drift so far away,
Everytime I get a little bit closer you leave me right here.
Like an island in the sun, I'm waiting patiently, waiting for you, to land on me.
Like an island in the sun, I guess I wait and see, waiting for you, to land on me.

Collecting seashells on the seafloor
Smoke a lil' seaweed on the seashore
Just me and you, we don't need more
Except the sun and the stars and the wind and the mountains
See I'm a real hippie kid so just the two us is something I could dig
Building castles in the sky, building castles in the sky

Everytime I get a little bit closer you drift so far away,
Everytime I get a little bit closer you leave me right here.
Everytime I get a little bit closer you drift and drift and drift,
Everytime I get a little bit closer you leave me right here.
Like an island in the sun, I'm waiting patiently, waiting for you, to land on me.
Like an island in the sun, I guess I wait and see, waiting for you, to land on me.

Everytime I get a little bit closer you drift so far away,
Everytime I get a little bit closer you drift so far away,
Everytime I get a little bit closer you drift so far away,
Everytime I get a little bit closer you leave me right here.

Just steer the boat, but I dont know where to go, my compass is broke, lost in babylon a long time a go
Everytime I get a little bit closer you drift so far away, aah oooh yeah
Baby baby baby baby baby I'm a lonely one

Like an island in the sun, I'm waiting patiently, waiting for you, to land on me.
Like an island in the sun, I guess I wait and see, waiting for you, to land on me.




Like an island in the sun, I'm waiting patiently, waiting for you, to land on me.
Like an island in the sun, I guess I wait and see, waiting for you, to land on me.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Island In The Sun" by Shwayze ft Cisco Adler revolve around the idea of being stranded on an island with someone special - in this case, the singer's love interest. The song opens with the vocalist expressing his disdain for seeing his partner cry, and how he would do anything to make them smile, even if it means getting stuck on an island with them. He goes on to paint a picture of this scenario, where they would listen to Bob Marley, make music out of palm trees, and create a romantic setting by kissing under a waterfall. The second verse talks about how they would spend their days collecting seashells, smoking seaweed, and building castles in the sky.


The chorus is a repetitive call to the lover to "land on me", with the singer proclaiming that he's waiting patiently for them to come closer to him. However, every time he tries to get closer to the person, they seem to drift away. The bridge of the song introduces a sense of confusion in the singer's mind, where he is lost in Babylon and can't seem to navigate his way to the person he loves. The song ends on a melancholic note, where he admits to being lonely and waiting for his lover to come to him like an "island in the sun".


Overall, the lyrics of "Island In The Sun" paint a vivid picture of a romantic and idyllic setting, but also touch upon themes of distance and the longing for human connection.
