Sail Away
Surfaces Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dara-rum-dum, dum-dum-dum, da-dum
Dara-rada-dada, dum-dum-dum (ooh, yeah)
Dara-rum-dum, dum-dum-dum, da-dum
Dara-rum-dum, dum-dum-dum, da-dum
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
You've been stuck in all your sorrows
Too washed up to no tomorrow, tomorrow
SOS, we're gonna need that
Get you back where you can relax
Too much time's spent by yourself, yourself
And the waves, they come
And the waves, they'll go
With a rhythm, you'll never know
Waves, they come
And the waves, they'll go
With a rhythm
Sail away with me tonight (hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm)
In the morning, we can leave it all behind (ooh)
Sail away with me tonight (hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm)
In the morning, we can leave it all for paradise
Sail away with me tonight
Sail away with me tonight
Sail away with me tonight
Sail away with me tonight
Yeah, yeah-yeah
Ayy, back and forth like, "Here we go once again"
It's the second place, you've been stuck in the sand
And the luck wasn't planned, so you don't know the way
It's the same stuff for just a different day
Oh, you can have it all, yeah
Everybody needs some love
You can have it all, yeah
Everybody needs some love
And the waves, they come
And the waves, they'll go
With a rhythm, you'll never know
Waves, they come
And the waves, they'll go
With a rhythm
Sail away with me tonight (hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm)
In the morning, we can leave it all behind (ooh)
Sail away with me tonight (hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm)
In the morning, we can leave it all for paradise
Sail away with me tonight (sail away, sail away, sail away)
Sail away with me tonight (sail away, sail away, c'mon sail away)
Sail away with me tonight (sail away, sail away, sail away)
Sail away with me tonight (sail away, sail away, c'mon sail away)
