“This song was created on a sunny evening in Los Angeles when I was going through a really tough time and felt more homesick than ever. I grew up on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 5,360 miles from LA in the middle of the Nordic forests of Sweden on a small island called Sollerön...
[Intro]
Island of the sun
I-I-Island of the sun
[Verse 1]
When was the light replaced? Now it's all ice and rain
I used to know your face, like second nature
When did the darkness come in between this love?
When did our hearts become strangers?
[Pre-Chorus]
Come with me, follow me now
I wanna turn this around
Give me a feeling like wow (Ah, ah)
Paint me with colour again
Like it was summer again
I wanna love you like when (Ah, ah)
[Chorus]
Kiss me, kiss me golden
Like our hearts we're nеver broken
On the island of thе sun
I-I-Island of the sun
Waves keeps pushing over
And our skin taste like the ocean
On the island of the sun
I-I-Island of the sun
[Verse 2]
I swear the stars will dance
My body's in your hands
We got a promise land
Why waste it?
[Pre-Chorus]
Come with me, follow me now
I wanna turn this around
Give me a feeling like wow (Ah, ah)
Paint me with colour again
Like it was summer again
I wanna love you like when (Ah, ah)
[Chorus]
Kiss me, kiss me golden
Like our hearts we're never broken
On the island of the sun
I-I-Island of the sun
Waves keeps pushing over
And our skin taste like the ocean
On the island of the sun
I-I-Island of the sun
[Bridge]
Oh, take me back, take me back
I wanna feel you on my skin
Take me back, take me back
I wanna hold you like it's summertime
Like I never lost your light
Make it last, make it last, make it last, make it last
[Chorus]
Kiss me, kiss me golden
Like our hearts we're never broken
On the island of the sun
I-I-Island of the sun
Waves keeps pushing over
And our skin taste like the ocean
On the island of the sun
I-I-Island of the sun
[Outro]
Island of the sun
I-I-Island of the sun
Island of the sun
I-I-Island of the sun
