"Bubbles Up" Lyrics Jimmy Buffet

 "Bubbles Up"


When this world starts a-reelin'
From that pressure drop feelin'
We're just treading water each day
There's a way to feel better
Be well set to weather
The storms 'til the sun shines again
When your compass is spinnin'
And you're lost on the way
Like a leaf in the wind, friend
Hear me when I say

Bubbles up
They will point you towards home
No matter how deep or how far you roam
They will show you the surface
The plot and the purpose
So, when the journey gets long
Just know that you are loved
There is light up above
And the joy is always enough
Bubbles up

To my friends who are jolly
When melancholy knocks
Sometimes they let her in
To sit and share stories
Of flops and of glories
It ain't half as bad as the bends
Sometimes living's a struggle
Multiplied double
But they love it too much
For the party to end

Bubbles up
They will point you towards home
No matter how deep or how far you roam
They will show you the surface
The plot and the purpose
So, when the journey gets long
Just know that you are loved
There is light up above
And joy, there is always enough
Bubbles up

Let's pop a cork
To the rough and the right
To the bright blazing days
And the sweet starry nights

Bubbles up
They will point us towards home
No matter how deep or how far we roam
They will show you the surface
The plot and the purpose
So, when the journey gets long
Just know that you are loved
There is light up above
And joy, there's always enough
Bubbles up
Bubbles up

Bubbles up

Jimmy Buffett recorded "Bubbles Up" shortly before his death on the 1st of September, 2023. The song which is the first taste of his album "Equal Strain on All Parts" was released on the 8th of September, 2023. Paul McCartney who has a guest appearances on the album's "My Gummie Just Kicked In" wrote online about "Bubbles Up", "I told him that not only was the song great but the vocal was probably the best I've heard him sing ever. He turned a diving phrase that is used to train people underwater into a metaphor for life when you're confused and don't know where you are just follow the bubbles—they'll take you up to the surface and straighten you out right away."
