summer song
The Anywheres Lyrics

Long Island sun
The sun in Long Island is shining

It wakes me up,
The sun wakes the singer up from their sleep

Sneaks from the east into my window up above
The sun's light comes into the singer's room from the east window

And I wish it were you
The artist wishes that their loved one was the one waking them up in the morning

Crawling through that pane
The artist wants their loved one to come through the window

For that I'd trade this sunshine
The singer would trade the sunshine for a chance to be with their loved one

For a week of rain
The singer prefers rain as long as they're with their loved one

It's a small world, or so they say
People say the world is small

But mostly it feels large
Despite what people say, the world often feels big to the artist

When we walk through these deserts of sorrow
The artist is going through a difficult time

Waiting for the next mirage
The singer is waiting for something positive to happen

On Southern Parkway,
The artist is on the Southern Parkway

There's a traffic jam
There is a lot of traffic

Thousands of cars are making love
The cars are stuck in traffic and not moving

While the drivers throw their hands
The drivers are frustrated and angry

The sun beats down on
The sun is shining on everything

Everything and everyone
The sun is shining on all things and people

But I wish you were here with me
The singer wishes their loved one was with them

Melting under this Long Island sun
The singer wants to be with their loved one in the hot sun of Long Island

It's up above the world so high
The sun is high above the world

Ticking like a bomb
The sun shines like a ticking bomb

While half the world is looking away
Half the world is not paying attention

With their TV sets on
People are watching TV

Next time you visit Long Island
The artist wants their loved one to visit Long Island again

We'll go walking on the beach
The singer wants to go for a walk on the beach with their loved one

Even if it's pouring down on us,
Even if it's raining heavily

In my mind we'll never leave
The singer wants to stay with their loved one forever

You bring your pipe
The artist wants their loved one to bring their pipe

And I'll bring my lungs
The artist will bring their lungs

And we'll see if all our questions
The singer wants to ask questions with their loved one

Get answered from above
The singer hopes the answers will come from the sky

The sun's painting diamonds
The sun is reflecting light on the ocean to create diamond-like shapes

Across the ocean's skin
The ocean's surface is like skin

When you see that open window
The artist wants their loved one to notice the open window

I hope you let yourself in
The singer hopes their loved one will come inside

It's a spoonful of sugar they say
People say that a spoonful of sugar helps things go down

That helps the drugs go down
Sugar makes drugs easier to swallow

You're the sweetness in my sunspots, baby
The singer's loved one is their sweet spot in life

You're the swings on my playground
The singer's loved one adds fun and playfulness to their life

We'll go swimming at Jones Beach
The artist wants to go swimming at Jones Beach with their loved one
