learned to surf

if i seem out of it

i've just gone to find you

i'll be back in a bit

circles close up but circles are wide

we'll be wearing wigs and costumes

won't need any hole to hide

when i learned to walk

you know humans roamed the earth

i can't hold my breath anymore

i stopped sinking and learned to surf

when i learned to talk

i found words that weren't worth dirt

i can't hold my breath anymore

i stopped swimming and learned to surf

if i drift out in channels way too deep

its 'cause i can't stand the shifting sand and shells under our feet

put your suitcase down

and leave your shoes

gently by the door

in a puddle with your blues

when i learned to walk

you know humans roamed the earth

i can't hold my breath anymore

i stopped sinking and learned to surf

when i learned to talk

i found words that weren't worth dirt

i can't hold my breath anymore

i stopped swimming and learned to surf

when i learned to walk you know humans roamed the earth

i can't hold my breath anymore

i stopped swimming and learned to surf

when i learned to talk

i found words that weren't worth dirt

heavy like the rocks we carry

i stopped sinking and learned to surf

i stopped swimming and learned to surf

stopped swimming

learned to surf

i learned to surf

i learned to surf
