Learned to Surf Songtext
von 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 learn to walk
Humans roam the earth
But I can't hold my breath anymore
I stopped swimming and learned to surf
When I learn to talk
Found words that weren′t worth dirt
But I can′t hold my breath anymore
I stopped sinking and learned to surf
If I drift out in channels way too deep
It's ′cause I can't stand the shifting sands
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 learn to walk
Humans roam the earth
But I can′t hold my breath anymore
I stopped swimming and learned to surf
When I learn to talk
I found words that weren't worth dirt
But I can′t hold my breath anymore
I stopped sinking and learned to surf
When I learn to walk
You know, humans roam the earth
I can't hold my breath anymore
I stopped swimming and learned to surf
Yeah, when I learned to talk
I found words that weren't worth dirt
Heavy like the rocks we carry
Well, I stopped sinking and learned to surf
I stopped sinking and learned to surf
I stopped sinking and learned to surf
I learned to surf
I learned to surf
