Surf Music Lyrics by Paul Williams (NZL)

Surf Music

2018

[Intro]
Raindrops keep falling
And damp clothes will dry
But I need some sunshine tonight
[Verse 1]
I wrote this song on some software
That I stole when I was 17
I thought that it might get me somewhere
I'm still nowhere and I'm 23
[Pre-Chorus]
But when I hear that warm California sound
I swear there ain't nobody that's getting me down
'Cause they put all the right notes in all the right places
[Chorus]
Now we're driving up the coast
And we're sitting on the hood of my car
Or we're walking down the boardwalk
Or at the drive-in under the stars
When I hear that surf music
I hear that sound
It's telling me, "Don't let shit get you down"
[Verse 2]
I once believed I could achieve my every dream
But now I'm not that sure
Back home in Nelson people used to talk about him
But they ain't saying nothing no more
[Pre-Chorus]
But when I'm feeling like I haven't a friend
I head for the place where summer don't ever end
Where they put all the right notes in all the right places
[Chorus]
Now we're driving up the coast
And we're sitting on the hood of my car
Or we're walking down the boardwalk
Or at the drive-in under the stars
When I hear that surf music
I hear that sound
It's telling me, "Don't let shit get you d–"
[Bridge]
And I ain't even catch any waves
But on the radio stays
You know I still crave that sound
And she's got the most beautiful eyes
Reflecting pink satin skies
As we watch that sun go down
Sitting on the hood of my car
And we ain't got no place we should be
And she looks like Lauren from Fifth Harmony
Oh and we can work from home tonight
If what I think that means is even right
'Cause I never believed in love on sight
Now, looking at you
I suddenly do, I do, I do
[Chorus]
Now we're driving up the coast
And we're sitting on the hood of my car
Or we're walking down the boardwalk
Or at the drive-in under the stars
When I hear that surf music
I hear that sound
It's telling me, "Don't let shit get you down"
