Shangri-La Lyrics by Eleni Drake

Surf The Sun

2023

[Verse 1]
Life's a bitch, yeah
Life's a mess and
Sometimes, I just want to disappear
I think I'm looking for something else
I guess this could be my year
[Pre-Chorus]
Sweet melancholic tunes
Chamomile flowers in bloom
Just pack up and drive with me
Tell me you're leaving too
And I'll wait for you, babe
Only you, babe
You can be my sweet escape
[Chorus]
I dreamt my whole life through
Shangri-La, I'm waiting for you
Sun kissed melodies, and oceans blue
I dreamt my whole life through
And I only wish that you knew
That everything I want–
I want it with you
With you too
[Verse 2]
So I just let my feet walk this earth
Fell the heat, a common burn
Find what I want
'Cause I'm always turning
A free soul in this cold world
But my sun is ever burning
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll heal my outward wounds
I'll heal my inside flux
Just say that you'll come with me
All I need, you're enough
And I'll wait for you, babe
Only you, babe
You can be my sweet escape
[Chorus]
I dreamt my whole life through
Shangri-La, I'm waiting for you
Sun kissed melodies, and oceans blue
I dreamt my whole life through
And I only wish that you knew
That everything I want
I want it with you too
[Outro]
Sweet melancholic tunes
Chamomile flowers in bloom
Tell me you're leaving too
Tell me you're leaving
