I spent the summer in Santa CruzAnd I met a blonde on beach with lots of quirky tattoosShe had that old movie quote"We're gonna need a bigger boat"Two tiny waves on her toesand turtle tracks on her collarbonesI asked her what they meantAnd this is what she saidYou gotta go with the flow 'cause the tides always turnAnd sink or swim, divin' in is the best way to learnKick up the sand 'cause your tanproves you lived through the burnAnd when you wipe out, it's gonna hurtYou can't stop the waves but you can learn how to surfAnd by the way, it's okay, it could always be worsеYeah, when you wipe out, it's gonna hurtYou can't stop thе waves but you can learn how to surfAnd I met a blonde on the beach with lots of quirky tattoosShe had a shark on her arm, a pirate shredin' the gnarAn octopus wearin' shadesand seagull wings on her shoulder bladesI asked her what they meantAnd this is what she saidYou gotta go with the flow 'cause the tides always turnAnd sink or swim, divin' in is the best way to learnKick up the sand 'cause your tanproves you lived through the burnAnd when you wipe out, it's gonna hurtYou can't stop the waves but you can learn how to surfAnd by the way, it's okay, it could always be worseYeah, when you wipe out, it's gonna hurtYou 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 aloneWrite 'em down, all your worries and woes"(Go with the flow)"Then, fold 'em up, cork it shut and let that bottle goAnd set your troubles afloat"She told me, "Hey, seize the day, know the ocean by heartAnd if it don't float your boatlearn to swim with the sharksKick up the sand 'cause your tanproves you lived through the burnAnd when you wipe out, it's gonna hurtYou can't stop the wavesYeah, when you wipe out, it's gonna hurtYou can't stop the waves but you can learn how to surfAnd by the way, it's okay, it could always be worseYeah, when you wipe out, it's gonna hurtYou can't stop the waves but you can learn how to surf
