[Verse 1]
We can make a wish on a satellite
We can keep on running, I'll go all night
If you like the ocean, I'll take the dive
Sink into the sea till the big sunrise
We can take a trip out to paradise
Baby, keep me honest, I'll tell you lies
If you like the ocean, I'll take the dive
Sink into the sea till the feeling dies
[Chorus]
Do you wanna lie in the sun tonight?
Do you wanna, do you wanna, can you do it right?
Do you wanna lie in the sun tonight?
Do you wanna, do you wanna, can you do it right?
Do you wanna lie in the sun tonight?
Do you wanna, do you wanna, can you do it right?
Do you wanna lie in the sun tonight?
Do you wanna, do you wanna, can you do it right?
[Post-Chorus]
Can you do it right?
[Verse 2]
I've been on a trip to the finish line
Stop to smell the roses, there's not enough time
If you liked the ocean, you should have dived
Waiting on forever will kill your mind
[Bridge]
Take me, I'll be ready
Take me before I go
Too far high, I'm waiting
Take me, take me home
[Chorus]
Do you wanna lie in the sun tonight?
Do you wanna, do you wanna, can you do it right?
Do you wanna lie in the sun tonight?
Do you wanna, do you wanna, can you do it right?
Do you wanna lie in the sun tonight?
Do you wanna, do you wanna, can you do it right?
Do you wanna lie in the sun tonight?
Do you wanna, do you wanna, can you do it right?
[Post-Chorus]
Can you do it right?
Can you do it right?

I wrote “Lie In The Sun” with John Ryan, a hilarious New Yorker who I met at a writing camp in Byron. Over lunch, we were asking my publisher about her youth – what she got up to with friends in the suburbs, and what kind of slang they would use to describe going out and getting wasted with friends...
I asked my publisher, ‘What did you call going out and getting wasted when you were young?’ And she said, ‘We called it lying in the sun.’ They’d say, ‘Let’s go lie in the sun.’ I just loved that image, then built a song to that mind-flip of lying in the sun at night, because it’s not possible. I’m...
