Learn How to Surf

I spent the summer in Santa Cruz

And I met a blonde on the beach

With lots of quirky tattoos

She had that old movie quote

\"We're gonna need a bigger boat\"

Two tiny waves on her toes

And turtle tracks on her collarbone

I asked her what they meant

And this is what she said

You gotta go with the flow cuz the tides always turn

And sink or swim, divin' in is the best way to learn

Kick up the sand cuz your tan proves you lived through the burn

And when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt

You can't stop the waves, but you can learn how to surf

And by the way, it's okay, it could always be worse

Yeah when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt

You can't stop the wavеs, but you can learn how to surf

I met a blonde on the beach

With lots of quirky tattoos

She had a shark on her arm, a pirate shredding the gnar

An octopus wearing shades

And seagull wings on her shoulder blades

I asked her what they meant

And this is what she said

You gotta go with the flow cuz the tides always turn

And sink or swim, divin' in is the best way to learn

Kick up the sand cuz your tan proves you lived through the burn

And when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt

You can't stop the waves, but you can learn how to surf

And by the way, it's okay, it could always be worse

Yeah when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt

You can't stop the wavеs, but you can learn how to surf

Go with the flow

Then she said when you're sad and you feel alone

Write them down, all your worries and woes

Go with the flow

Then fold em up, cork it shut and let that bottle go

And set your troubles afloat

She told me hey, seas the day, know the ocean by heart

And if it don't float your boat, learn to swim with the sharks

Kick up the sand cuz your tan proves you lived through the burn

And when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt

You can't stop the waves

Yeah, when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt

You can't stop the waves, but you can learn how to surf

And by the way, it's okay, it could always be worse

Yeah when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt

You can't stop the waves, but you can learn how to surf
