Discover the story of the song > Bubbles Up – Jimmy Buffett

The protagonist is talking about how sometimes life can be tough and feel like treading water, but there's a way to feel better and weather the storms until things get better again. They talk about how their friends, even when feeling sad, still find joy in life because they love it too much. They then talk about how there are always bubbles of love and joy that will guide them home no matter how far they wander, and remind them that there's always enough joy in life.
