Lyrics:
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 famous quote
“We’re gonna need a bigger boat”
Two tiny waves on her toes
And turtle tracks on her collarbones
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, diving 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 waves
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, diving 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 waves
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
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
