Learned to Surf Songtext
von Superchunk

If I seem out of it
I′ve just gone to find you, Ill 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
