0:08I spent the summer in Santa Cruz
0:12And I met a blonde on beach with lots of quirky tattoos
0:16She had that old movie quote
0:18We're gonna need a bigger boat
0:20Two tiny waves on her toes and turtle tracks on her collarbones
0:27I asked her what they meant
0:31And this is what she said
0:33You gotta go with the flow 'cause the tides always turnin'
0:37And sink or swim divin' in is the best way to learn
0:41Kick up the sand 'cause your tan proves you lived through the burn
0:46And when you wipe out it's gonna hurt
0:48You can't stop the waves but you can learn how to surf
1:00And by the way it's okay it could always be worse
1:05Yeah when you wipe out it's gonna hurt
1:08You can't stop the waves but you can learn how to surf
1:15And I met a blonde on the beach with lots of quirky tattoos
1:20She had a shark on her arm a pirate shredin' the gnar
1:24An octopus wearin' shades and seagull wings on her shoulder blades
1:30I asked her what they meant
1:35And this is what she said
1:37You gotta go with the flow 'cause the tides always turnin'
1:41And sink or swim divin' in is the best way to learn
1:45Kick up the sand 'cause your tan proves you lived through the burn
1:49And when you wipe out it's gonna hurt
1:52You can't stop the waves but you can learn how to surf
2:04And by the way it's okay it could always be worse
2:09Yeah when you wipe out it's gonna hurt
2:11You can't stop the waves but you can learn how to surf
2:17Go with the flow
2:18Then she said
2:19When you're sad and you feel alone
2:23Write 'em down all your worries and woes
2:26Go with the flow
2:27Then fold 'em up cork it shut and let that bottle go
2:31And set your troubles afloat
2:51She told me hey seize the day know the ocean by heart
2:55And if it don't float your boat learn to swim with the sharks
2:59Kick up the sand 'cause your tan proves you lived through the burn
3:04And when you wipe out it's gonna hurt
3:06You can't stop the waves
3:08Yeah when you wipe out it's gonna hurt
3:11You can't stop the waves but you can learn how to surf
3:23And by the way it's okay it could always be worse
3:27Yeah when you wipe out it's gonna hurt
3:30You can't stop the waves but you can learn how to surf
