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 movie 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
'Cause the tides always turn
And sink or swim, diving in
Is the best way to learn
Kick up the sand 'cause 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
'Cause the tides always turn
And sink or swim, diving in
Is the best way to learn
Kick up the sand 'cause 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 'em 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, seize 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 'cause 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

[Verse 1]
Kumenghabiskan musim panasku di Santa Cruz
Dan aku bertemu seorang wanita berambut perang muda di pantai
Mempunyai tatu yang unik
Dia ambil petikan dari filem lama, "Kita perlukan bot yang lagi besar"
Dua ombak kecil di jari kakinya dan jejak kaki kura-kura di selangkanya

[Pre-Chorus]
Aku tanya apa maksudnya
Dan inilah apa yang dia katakan

[Chorus]
Engkau harus mengikut arus kerna ombak sentiasa berubah
Dan jangan takut, menyelam air adalah cara yang terbaik untukmu belajar
Semangatkan dirimu kerna kulit perang engkau
Membuktikan engkau pernah hidup dalam kepanasan
Dan bila engkau jatuh, engkau akan rasa sakit
Engkau tak dapat hentikan ombak, tapi engkau boleh belajar cara untuk berenang

[Post-Chorus]
Dan dengan itu, tidak mengapa, ia boleh jadi lagi teruk
Yеah, dan bila engkau jatuh, engkau akan rasa sakit
Engkau tak dapat hentikan ombak, tapi еngkau boleh belajar cara untuk berenang

[Verse 2]
Aku terjumpa seorang wanita berambut perang di pantai
Mempunyai tatu yang unik
Dia ada seekor jerung di lengannya, seorang bajak laut yang menguasai lautan
Seekor gurita yang berkaca mata hitam
Sayap burung camar di bilah bahunya

[Pre-Chorus]
Aku tanya apa maksudnya
Dan inilah apa yang dia katakan

[Chorus]
Engkau harus mengikut arus kerna ombak sentiasa berubah
Dan jangan takut, menyelam air adalah cara yang terbaik untukmu belajar
Semangatkan dirimu kerna kulit perang engkau
Membuktikan engkau pernah hidup dalam kepanasan
Dan bila engkau jatuh, engkau akan rasa sakit
Engkau tak dapat hentikan ombak, tapi engkau boleh belajar cara untuk berenang

[Post-Chorus]
Dan dengan itu, tidak mengapa, ia boleh jadi lagi teruk
Yeah, dan bila engkau jatuh, engkau akan rasa sakit
Engkau tak dapat hentikan ombak, tapi engkau boleh belajar cara untuk berenang

[Bridge]
(Ikutlah arus)
Dan dia cakap "Apabila engkau sedih dan rasa keseorangan
Catatkan ia, semua kerisauan dan kesedihanmu"
(Ikutlah arus)
"Dan lipatkan ia, masukkan dalam botol dan buang
Dan biarkan masalahmu terapung pergi"

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Dan dia cakap, hei, nikmatilah harimu
Kenali lautan dalam hati
Dan jika tidak, gelorakan dirimu
Belajar berenang dengan jerung
Semangatkan dirimu kerna kulit perang engkau
Membuktikan engkau pernah hidup dalam kepanasan
Dan bila engkau jatuh, engkau akan rasa sakit
Engkau tak dapat hentikan ombak
Yeah, dan bila engkau jatuh, engkau akan rasa sakit
Engkau tak dapat hentikan ombak, tapi engkau boleh belajar cara untuk berenang

[Outro]
Yeah!
(Belajar cara untuk berenang)
Dan dengan itu, tidak mengapa, ia boleh jadi lagi teruk
Yeah, dan bila engkau jatuh, engkau akan rasa sakit
Engkau tak dapat hentikan ombak, tapi engkau boleh belajar cara untuk berenang
