“Bubbles Up,” the first song to be unveiled, is a reflective ballad that, like later Buffett songs such as “Tides,” reveals a deeper side to his music. The tune takes its name from how sailors can follow the bubbles up to the water’s surface to escape drowning if a boat capsizes. Buffett co-wrote th...
[Verse 1]
When this world starts a-reelin' from that pressure drop feelin'
We're just treading water each day
There's a way to feel better, be well set to weather
The storms 'til the sun shines again
When your compass is spinnin' and you're lost on the way
Like a leaf in the wind, friend, hear me when I say
[Chorus]
Bubbles up, they will point you towards home
No matter how deep or how far you roam
They will show you the surface, the plot and the purpose
So when the journеy gets long
Just know that you are loved, thеre is light up above
And the joy is always enough, bubbles up
[Verse 2]
To my friends who are jolly, when melancholy knocks
Sometimes they let her in
To sit and share stories of flops and of glories
It ain't half as bad as the bends
Sometimes living's a struggle multiplied double
But they love it too much for the party to end
[Chorus]
Bubbles up, they will point you towards home
No matter how deep or how far you roam
They will show you the surface, the plot and the purpose
So when the journey gets long
Just know that you are loved, there is light up above
And the joy is always enough, bubbles up
[Bridge]
Let's plot the course
To the rough and the right
To the bright blazing days
And the sweet starry nights
[Chorus]
Bubbles up, they will point us towards home
No matter how deep or how far we roam
They will show you the surface, the plot and the purpose
So when the journey gets long
Just know that you are loved, there is light up above
And the joy is always enough, bubbles up
[Refrain]
