Stranded
Sumner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love you know I need you now
Honey dripping from your mouth
I could never ever doubt anything you do
I could never burn out when I'm with you
We build it up and break it down
If we could just find common ground
I could never ever doubt anything you do
But I never ever doubt anything I feel for you

We were only fighting each other
We only see one another
But I can't fight anymore
We were just igniting each other
Trying to see in full colour
I can't fight anymore

Won't leave you stranded
Won't leave you stranded
Won't leave you stranded
Won't leave you stranded
Won't leave you
Won't leave you stranded
Won't leave you stranded
Won't leave you stranded
Won't leave you stranded
Won't leave you

I don't want anything, anyone
I don't need, I'm a be everyone
Hey, we are alive hey
Hey, we are alive hey
Hey, we are alive hey
Hey, we are alive hey
I don't want anything, anyone
I don't need, I'm a be everyone
Hey, we are alive hey
Hey, we are alive hey
Hey, we are alive hey
Hey, we are alive hey

Won't leave you stranded
Won't leave you stranded
Won't leave you stranded
Won't leave you stranded
Won't leave you
Won't leave you stranded
Won't leave you stranded
Won't leave you stranded
Won't leave you stranded
Won't leave you

Love you know I need you now
Honey dripping from your mouth
I could never ever doubt anything you do
I could never burn out when I'm with you
We build it up and break it down
If we could just find common ground




I could never ever doubt anything you do
But I never ever doubt anything I feel for you

Great tune co-produced by Sumner, Nick Littlemore & Peter Mayes from Pnau. Job well done by all to produce such a beautiful song.

@roexjuzeb14

I'm deeply and truly in love with this song.

@AgentSquirrelA

What a banger from little old Launceston!

Proud to live in this city when music like this can be born from it.

@franeddington3279

Just when you think they can’t slap harder.. they bring these visuals to back up their musical talent 🀀

@venomsixxx

Fuckin A!

@_CompactDisc

This sounds at the same time like: future and past, nostalgic and new, summer and winter, happy and sad

@michaelhope007

This song is the reason I don't listen to commercial main stream radio. You would never hear a fantastic song/duo like this. ThreeD radio in Adelaide thank you.

@teganboundy9263

I only ever listen to triple J anymore, haven't listened to commercial radio in almost 10 years. So many absolute slappers out there that would never be played on the commercial stations, which is a shame actually because damn there is some good music out there that so many people don't even know about.

@Tamaresque

Ditto for Triple J
