Hawaii Lyrics

I'll take another cold beer from you, brother
Got a story I could tell ya
Could you drop a pink umbrella in my High Life?
And make it look like a Mai Tai
I'll paint you a palm tree picture
Couple fools in paradise

Swept up in the blue
We were living life in a movie
Just like Elvis and Priscilla, yeah, the both of us
Drinking pineapple rum out of a coconut
By the ocean, happy as a ukulele
Yeah, that rainbow we were under
Sometimes I wonder why we
Ever left Hawaii

Back on the mainland
Things ain't the same, man
Wish we could go back to island time
We had a plan to sell bamboo wind chimes
At a roadside souvenir stand
We had it all in the palm of our hands
But it slipped right through like sand in Waimea Bay
We shoulda stayed

Swept up in the blue
We were living life in a movie
Just like Elvis and Priscilla, yeah, the both of us
Drinking pineapple rum out of a coconut
By the ocean, happy as a ukulele
Yeah, that rainbow we were under
Sometimes I wonder why we
Ever left Hawaii

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Swept up in the blue
We were living life in a movie
Just like Elvis and Priscilla, yeah, the both of us
Drinking pineapple rum out of a coconut
By the ocean, happy as a ukulele
Yeah, that rainbow we were under
Sometimes I wonder why we
Ever left Hawaii, mmhm

Ever left Hawaii

What is the Meaning of Hawaii?

Old Dominion's track captures a nostalgic longing for simpler, blissful times spent in an idyllic setting. The lyrics recount a memory of carefree days filled with romance and happiness, epitomized by the imagery of tropical paradise and leisurely activities such as drinking pineapple rum out of coconuts. The narrative contrasts this utopian past with the present reality on the mainland, which feels mundane and unfulfilling by comparison. The song reflects on missed opportunities and the wistful desire to return to a time when life felt like a dream, questioning why they ever left such a perfect place. #Nostalgia #ParadiseLost
