Superchunk - Learned To Surf Lyrics






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

    @mike bosi i have. old days and new days......i saw them without Laura on bass....i was very sad. they are super nice. ive seen them like 6 times at least and i always talked with members before the show. really cool people.

    m.... b....

    +mike bosi I've seen them in each of the past 3 decades, and while 1994 Superchunk were different from 2001 Superchunk, who were themselves different from the 2010 version, they are always great. I've been lucky enough to talk to them on a couple of occasions, and even got my copy of "Incidental Music" signed at a small show in '99.

    ahhh. i remember back there in 1998, when i have the pleasure to be in a superchunk gig in belo horizonte, minas gerais, brasil. i wrote a quote based on a sonic youth's song (screaming skull) and i also asked them to play "for tension". i badly could believe when they start playing it. finishing the concert, mac and jon came to talk with me and friends. what a night! thank you. this clip/music rocks! love you !
