This song is about being in a foreign, beautiful location with your friends, specifically the sights and feelings of tropical Hawaii. It explores the sensation of important memories staying with you even as you walk onward in your life.
Hawaii Loving is the eleventh and final track from Elyse Shack...
(Verse 1)
You know I hated those khaki shorts of yours
Dad polos, guitar solos
Those khaki shorts don't seem so bad no more
You know I loved it when sunlight woke me up
You pull the curtain, now I’m certain
We could stay here and it might just be enough
(Chorus 1)
Hawaii Showers
Foreign Flowers
Endless Hours
It's all ours
(Verse 2)
You know I waited and found you every night
Warm waters, getting lost in
Watching you splash and sit and drink and sigh
We knew that it all would have to end
Sad seconds, would pass then
It would be fine because we had time left
(Chorus 2)
Hawaii showers
Foreign flowers
Endless hours
It's all ours
Finite moments
That keep me going
In worlds outside of
Hawaii loving
(Bridge)
We held hands
You caught my eye
Holding sand
And we felt the goodbye
We swore we’d never
Let this go
So while years pass
I hold
(Chorus 3)
Hawaii Showers
Foreign flowers
Endless hours
It's all ours
Finite moments
That keep me going
In worlds outside of
Hawaii loving
(Outro)
Planes going
Homeward bound and
I'm still running
With hawaii loving
