Hawaii Lyrics

You know time goes by fast like rain
It swallows your every sound
From whisper to icy howl
You know time goes by fast like rain
It swallows your every sound
From whisper to icy howl
Good luck trying to be someone
If you make it then you’ve won
You’ll grow up to be someone

I can’t go without you
No, I need to have you
Have you met someone?
Have you touched the bottom?

The weather is like you
Third time’s the charm
Like a dog it’s breathing
They are just as lonely
And we all make mistakes once in a while
The weather is like you
Third time’s the charm
Like a dog it’s breathing

It was right beyond doubt
Things just didn’t pan out
It’s a movie set
It’s a world constructed
I can’t go without you
I’m a ghost to have you
Have you met someone?
Have you touched the bottom?

The weather is like you
Third time’s the charm
Like a dog it’s breathing
They are just as lonely
And we all make mistakes once in a while
The weather is like you
Here comes the charm
Like a dog it’s breathing
They are just as lonely
And we all make mistakes once in a while
The weather is like you
The weather is like you

I think it's "it swallows your every sound" as opposed to just "swallows every..."

Haha, yeah I meant to write that. Thanks for your help. :)

I think it's "good luck trying to be someone, if you make it there, you've won

To me it really sounds like " good luck trying to be someone, if you make it there, you've won"

I think you're right! :)

Good to be of help!

This is definitely one of my favorite songs in the album. When that "ahh ahh ahh ahh" number came with "the world's like you" it gave me shivers. Kinda uplifting actually.

I like the part "Good luck trying to be someone/If you make it then you've won/You'll grow up to be someone". Ironically, it looks like the person in mention is never going to change at all, keeping it all the feelings and memories, so eventually he/she will be the same person as at the beginning and realizes his/her failed attempt to forget what he/she had before. It applies perfectly for long relationships that broke-up although love was hided for a while.
