Get Lost Lyrics
I’ve had days
Of wine and women and wine
Spending all my precious time
I wish I could press rewind
But it’s just plain
Feels like fast-forward some days
Maybe it’s just a phase
Maybe I’m losing my mind
Oh, pretty hair
Listen what I’m thinking
I wanna get lost with you
I wanna forget where I came from
I wanna get lost with you
Will you help me along?
Floating on an island with you
I wanna get lost
You’re the type, that won’t stop 'til it’s done right
Won’t let him out of her sight
Don’t mind putting up no fight
And that’s the way I like it
Don’t mind when a man gets excited
Sometimes you’re even invited
Keeping me up all night
Oh, baby
Listen what I’m thinking
I wanna get lost with you
I wanna forget where I came from
I wanna get lost with you
Will you help me along?
Floating on an island with you
I wanna get lost
Oh, baby
See you’re off the coast
Working it out
Showing on through
Building a sandcastle
And a big old sandbox
Oh baby, baby
Listen what I’m thinking
I wanna get lost with you
I wanna forget where I came from
I wanna get lost with you
Will you help me along?
Floating on an island with you
I wanna get lost
Floating on an island with you
I wanna get lost
Floating on an island with you
I wanna get lost
Of wine and women and wine
Spending all my precious time
I wish I could press rewind
But it’s just plain
Feels like fast-forward some days
Maybe it’s just a phase
Maybe I’m losing my mind
Listen what I’m thinking
I wanna forget where I came from
I wanna get lost with you
Will you help me along?
Floating on an island with you
I wanna get lost
Won’t let him out of her sight
Don’t mind putting up no fight
And that’s the way I like it
Don’t mind when a man gets excited
Sometimes you’re even invited
Keeping me up all night
Listen what I’m thinking
I wanna forget where I came from
I wanna get lost with you
Will you help me along?
Floating on an island with you
I wanna get lost
See you’re off the coast
Working it out
Showing on through
Building a sandcastle
And a big old sandbox
Oh baby, baby
Listen what I’m thinking
I wanna forget where I came from
I wanna get lost with you
Will you help me along?
Floating on an island with you
I wanna get lost
I wanna get lost
Floating on an island with you
I wanna get lost

This song is so sweet. Its about a boy with a crush saying he wants to get lost with his crush and just be alone with her. I think its so cute and the vocals on this song (like all the others) is PERFECT! Gavin has a wonderful voice. I absolutely love him!!
I can't believe only one person's commented on this song!!! I love Gavin DeGraw and think this is one of the best songs on the album.
I think it's about a guy who used to just go out and have fun - "I’ve had days Of wine and women and wine"
But he's realised now that he's with this amazing girl (or could be with this amazing girl?) that was all a waste of time because this feeling is so much better. I think he either isn't going out with her and is just fantasising about it, or has only just started dating/getting to know her - it sounds quite like a new love, and is saying he WANTS to get lost with her, not that he has got lost and liked it!!
Basically it's about how much he likes a girl. And like Jess says, it's really sweet.
(I also love how the title, before you listen to it, makes you think it'll be an angry song with him telling someone to "get lost" but in fact it's entirely different.)
