lyrics

The first time I met the waves
Beyond the element of fear
And doubts inside of me
I embraced an ocean.

The first time I walked on water
It couldn’t compare to the thought of you
or the touch of you,
As I embraced an emotion.

And if you leave me now, then I’ll go surfing
Baby, baby, I hate sharks.
The waves are like clothes in the winter time
(as long as it’s not the wintertime)

And if I go out, I hope you cry for me
And if I drown, I hope you’ll cry for me, cos
I can’t swim with burned-out lungs
And I can’t wave goodbye with gnawed-off arms!

And I’f you leave me now, then I’ll go surfing
Baby, baby, I hate sharks.
The waves are like clothes in the winter time
(as long as it’s not the wintertime)

I could go out
I could hang ten
I could drown, while
Getting a tan

I could go out. I could hang ten. I could drown, while
Getting a tan x2

If you leave me now, then I’ll go surfing
Baby, baby, I hate sharks.
The waves are like clothes in the winter time
(as long as it’s not the wintertime)

And if you leave me now, then I’ll go surfing
But baby, baby, I hope you won’t -
Cos I don’t float so good
Without your love,
Baby, baby... you’re my leg rope.
