Learned to Surf - Superchunk

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
