Bucket Lyrics

(There's a hole
in your bucket)

Sun's out!
We got
A beach day
Forget
Yourself say
Why don't
We people watch?
Kids all playing
'Round in the sand

(Little boy crying)

Oh, no!
He's got
Some troubles
Got us laughing
As he throws
His shovel
Nothing's
Really going
As planned

I don't know
How we're
Gonna build
A castle now
Do you want
To start
Again somehow?
I'll stay
Until the sun
Comes down
Down, down

Are you smiling?
Look over
My shoulder
See
Your laughter
Bubble over
Lately
You've
Been working
Too hard

And i've
Been waiting
To recognize
That sparkle
That's
In your eyes
Those
Two dimples
On your cheeks
The joy
That lights
The fire

I don't know
How we're
Gonna build
A castle now
Do you want
To start
Again somehow?
I'll stay
Until the sun
Comes down
Down, down

There's a hole
In my bucket
Dear Liza
Dear Liza
There's a hole
In my bucket
Dear Liza
A hole

And i don't know
How
We're s'posed
To build
A castle now
Do you want
To start
Again somehow?
I'll stay
Until the sun
Comes down
Down

I'll stay
Until the sun
Comes

I don't know
How we're
Gonna build
A castle now
Do you want
To start
Again somehow?
I'll stay
Until the sun
Comes down
Down, down
'Til the sun
Comes down

I'll stay
Sun's coming down
I'll stay
Sun's coming down
I'll stay
Sun's coming down
I'll stay

Cover art for Bucket lyrics by Carly Rae Jepsen

This song seems to be about a long-term (probably married) couple. They haven't spent time together for a while, and they're out enjoying an uncharacteristically carefree day on the beach ("Forget yourself say why don't we people watch?")

Though they run into various mishaps ("Nothings really going as planned"), the woman is especially happy to see her man relaxing for a change ("See your laughter bubble over, lately you've been working too hard", "And I've been waiting to recognize that sparkle that's in your eye...")

The man confesses something to the woman ("there's a hole in my bucket"), a problem that he believes will threaten their relationship ("I don't know how we're supposed to build a castle now"). The woman, however, reassures him that no matter what, she'll stay with him ("I'll stay until the sun comes down").

Personally I think the "hole in my bucket" thing might actually refer to sterility, LOL. The guy can't have kids, hence he's worried about how they'll start a family ("build a castle").
