Everybody Supermarket
The Sugargliders Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Momโ€™s just got this letter
And she says that itโ€™s addressed to everyone
Some stood out on foot path and opened it out there
The sky was clear
And it read

Across the sea
This world I send
While youโ€™re still young
With love for everyone

I read it out loud and it was like an invitation to be happy
And everybodyโ€™s face just seem to radiate the same feelings I was getting

Across the sea
This world I send
While youโ€™re still young
With love for everyone

Across the sea
This world I send




If not for me
With love for everyone
