Lyrics:
Learn How To Surf
I spent the summer in Santa Cruz
And I met a blonde on the beach
With lots of quirky tattoos
She had that old famous quote
“We’re gonna need a bigger boat”
Two tiny waves on her toes
And turtle tracks on her collarbones
I asked her what they meant
And this is what she said
You gotta go with the flow
Cuz the tides always turn
And sink or swim, diving in
Is the best way to learn
Kick up the sand cuz your tan
Proves you lived through the burn
And when you wipe out, it’s gonna hurt
You can’t stop the waves
But you can learn how to surf
And by the way, it’s okay
It could always be worse
Yeah when you wipe out, it’s gonna hurt
You can’t stop the waves
But you can learn how to surf
I met a blonde on the beach
With lots of quirky tattoos
She had a shark on her arm
A pirate shredding the gnar
An octopus wearing shades
And seagull wings on her shoulder blades
I asked her what they meant
And this is what she said
You gotta go with the flow
Cuz the tides always turn
And sink or swim, diving in
Is the best way to learn
Kick up the sand cuz your tan
Proves you lived through the burn
And when you wipe out, it’s gonna hurt
You can’t stop the waves
But you can learn how to surf
And by the way, it’s okay
It could always be worse
Yeah when you wipe out, it’s gonna hurt
You can’t stop the waves
But you can learn how to surf
Go with the flow
Then she said when you’re sad and you feel alone
Write them down, all your worries and woes
Go with the flow
Then fold em up, cork it shut and let that bottle go
And set your troubles afloat
She told me hey, seas the day
Know the ocean by heart
And if it don’t float your boat
Learn to swim with the sharks
Kick up the sand cuz your tan
Proves you lived through the burn
And when you wipe out, it’s gonna hurt
You can’t stop the waves
Yeah when you wipe out, it’s gonna hurt
You can’t stop the waves
But you can learn how to surf
Learn how to surf
And by the way, it’s okay
It could always be worse
Yeah when you wipe out, it’s gonna hurt
You can’t stop the waves
But you can learn how to surf

So many Owl City's songs can be boiled down to "bad things will happen, but then it'll get better". It's really uplifting.
Excellent observation. I concur.
Yeah! Totally. :3
Kinda fits to what happened a couple years ago
@@ChrisKoraltan also just life in general
fr
When times are tough, at least I have Owl City.
yes brother, i absolutely agree with you
I agree with youu
This is my life story
I wish Adam could experience listening to these songs for the first time like us .. they’re magical
Adam has this amazing ability where he can make you feel nostalgia of a memory that you're 100% sure never happened
Good thing she talked in Rhymes or else this song would sound weird
Edit: jokes aside, love the song!
real
😂
I always thought the same thing about “A Million Lives” by Jake miller.
"What do your tattoos mean?" "I don't know, I was young and I thought they looked cool"
One of the best songs on the album!
THIS ALBUM IS SO FIRE YALL
Stop spamming in caps and enjoy the song.
@ineedakitkat6628 stop hating, im spreading love for my boy. Caps is a form expression my guy.
@@valmcal It shows you're only doing this for attention. Leave.
@@ineedakitkat6628 carpet tires
honestly on the lower end of his albums for me, but they're all good
I'm actually glad that Adam is back making music.
Once my class received our quiz papers, majority failed but our physics teacher played this part of the song 0:42 and said "your grades dont define you as a person". Few weeks later the grade level had a teacher survey where we had to rate the teachers and type in what they need to improve. For some reason, majority of our level didn't like him and gave him a 1 or 0 but my class gave him around 4-6. Days later we saw him come to school looking really sad. I felt so bad cuz he's actually trying his best and being a teacher and handling with different students is definitely a challenge, my moms a teacher so i know the feeling. My physics teacher is always so fun and lively, he had the biggest smile on his face and me and my friends definitely felt crushed when we saw him sad like that. Everytime i hear this song, i think of that moment where he tried to motivate us. He deserves better :(((
Welp i just ranted...^^
Adams music is so timeless, no matter when or how long he takes on making another song, not only is his voice beautiful but the music is so enjoyable to listen. Praise this man. Love his work
Best Song Ever! This deserves a full music video and a grammy!
I hope he does a music video. 🏄✨
It’s funny cause Adam said that this album is his favorite so far and I can see why Adam would think that in his pov! I feel like he’s able to create what he actually wants to hear and love.
And that’s a beautiful thing, love the song, love the album! owl city 2023 ❤️
15 years of amazing good vibes music. You go Adam! ♥
What a jam
Indeed it is my dude
😅
I really hope The Tornado gets a real music video. That would be insane!
Also The Meadow Lark would make a great music video! Listening to the song you can imagine everything that would happen!
Or dinosaur park tbh
I kinda think it’s better to leave the visualizations to the imagination for that one. The imagery conveyed lyrically is just so powerful for that song.
No rude words, No sex, No self killing ,No drug This is best artist for everyone and you can become to legendary, Adam
My friend phrased it perfectly one time by saying that Owl City makes music for Radio Disney, but it’s still actually some of the best music around
This Isn’t The End… 🙁
But didn't he already become legendary
@@Sleepii.. it's a positive sad song, the meaning is beautiful
The only artist I will never get tired of listening to.
This is by far one of my favorite songs on the album! I can't help but bop and dance to this song.
Can't wait to blare it on the beach 😎and educate all the innocent bystanders on Owl City!
You made us dance weird with this song Adam, I miss the way you make song like this genre, but I also love most of your orchestral songs. It's been my thing now since I really love orchestra music. For those saying Adam changed, listen to his old albums that has orchestral styles and you won't believe it. ❤
they just don't know his other projects. Port Blue and Windsor Airlift are amazing
Also listen to his Scores
This song is one of my favorites off the new album, it gives me and old school owl city vibe but manages to stay fresh and new!
Right?! Like I could totally see this, although with a slightly less polished sound, coming right off of Maybe I’m Dreaming or Ocean Eyes and it sounding perfectly at home
I am just glad that owl city is back. I can finnaly enjoy the present like nostalgia
Owl City’s voice is so incredible
Owl City has been my go-to “happy music” for over a decade now, and songs like this are exactly why.
This song is such a banger!!!
Whenever I need boost of positivity and optimism I listen to Owl city. Love you man. Been your fan since myspace times and haven’t stopped listening since than!🖤
Such a great song!! Reminds me of OG Owl City
This video came out right at the start of my last day of my current job; about to shift to a new job next week.
The meaning of the song couldn't be more perfect. ❤️
It's cool ! Good luck with your new job !
this album is everything
I missed you so much owl city 😢
2:58 just coming in here to say that big shiny bell/glockenspiel sound that walks downward in the background of "learn to swim with the sharks" is like an iconic signature owl city sound and like REALLY makes this song for me. It's so pretty and has been a teeny tiny part in so many owl city songs over the last decade+ or however long it's been and it's turned into a really nostalgic owl city sound cuz it's one of my favorite bits from like early albums and it's really cool to hear it's still a part of the new music.
Adam, haznos bailar con esta canción plz 💃🏽
sí que lo hizo uwu
Yaaaay. Amé esta canción Adam! Gracias! 🏄❤️🇲🇽
He’s performing at SeaWorld tonight…… A match made in heaven. 😌🌊
Love you, Adam 🎵❤️
your music just makes me miss early 2010s so much I can't describe it
I love all your new songs!!! I love that you mention God and your faith in your songs!!! God bless you Adam Young!!!
This album makes me hopeful to ride the monsoons of life with the boldness of tigers On The Wing through the darkest night of the most violent twister into the break of dawn. Those times are coming in the twinkling of an eye when we will fly, take heart for we will run and not grow faint.
I can't express in words the brotherly bond I feel to Adam. As a native of Owl City, I don't believe I am the only one among the population of dreamers and Hoot Owls who feels this way. And now we have access back to our City from being controlled by the mainstream producers who control Carly Rae Jepsen, it wasn't always a good time. But now Adam has full reign back at Sky Harbour Studios, Praise the LORD.
Much love
Hands down the best one on the album. It’s so addictive
Much love from Ukraine!! 💙💛 Love your songs, been a fan for 8 years and hopefully more to come
Sending you love back from the UK. We are all hoping things will get better for you. You are all so brave & are thought about so much all over the world. Take good care. ☮🕊
This is, by far, my favorite song on Coco Moon.
Owlcity is making our summer good with these songs
Thank you, Adam. You're my hero
the nostalgia on this album is healing me
The synth solo checks out. Extreme awesomeness. Love the modulations and harmonics on the sound.
Love this. I plan on choreographing a dance to this for the littles in dance camp this summer 🏄♂️
That's awesome!
This is my favorite song on the album hands down. This album is one of your best Adam. Thank you for blessing my life with your music ❤
SO READY FOR THIS!!!! 🎉
MY FAVORITE MAN IS BACK!!!!!
I love the retro style of the music & the video!
We needed this so much in 2023! Brings tears to my eyes how great this song is.
So perfect and kind how Adam can be lovely all the time!
Owl City is back and he is back with new energy!
I hope everyone has a blessed day
Production on this is incredible. You finally gave us an album where you didn’t hold back, and it’s all the fans have wanted!!
I love this song! Absolutely a gem! Reminds me of some of the good ol songs by Owl City! Makes me feel like a kid again, yet also pumps me up to take on whatever life throws now as an adult. Beautiful harmony in every possible way! 🤌🏻❤️
We can't stop hate speeches toward us. But we can learn how to control our feelings~
Thank You Adam.
“Can’t stop the waves but you can learn how to surf!” Literally.
That solo at 2:35 is the best this world has ever heard.
Straight facts brother
That solo is INSANE! Wowwwww
Gasss solo
I heard a solo and thought it's ok, but not that great. Then this one kicked in later, and I looked at the time and thought you were right.
I've transcribed the solo and am learning to play it on sax. IT's NOT EASY lol
You're a blessing Adam.
Rock on 🦉 🏢
We have OWL CITY still alive
Thank you Dear Artist and Production Teams for lifting everything up , through out the time
From times before Fireflies and , then and now
You're the most important artist of our generation bro
My first Owl City premiere ever, very excited :D
If I had the ability to time travel and show people in the 1980s one song, this would be it.
This should be a summer hit! ⛱️ 🌊
Been livin in Santa Cruz for the past 2+ years and gotta this song really embodies the vibe of Santa Cruz. Love it!!!
My favorite song from this album! And the beginning reminds me of All Star, an added bonus
I have depression but somehow hearing the lines "And when you wipe out it's gonna hurt" as well as "And by the way it's okay, it could always be worse" while shopping for groceries somehow struck a chord with me. So here I am.
This is one of my favorite songs now. It's oddly reassuring.
The exact same thing happened to me only I'm not depressed anymore. For anybody wondering if you don't take showers, don't brush your teeth, and leave the house YOU ARE DEPRESSED.
Fot me it was complex post-traumatic stress disorder for other people their depression may come from other things. I can't say for certain I don't know your situation but if you want to overcome depression find out what triggers you.
That's a great clue that lets you know what really is upsetting you that you haven't confronted. When you finally find it when you even think the words you feel a weakness in your heart and a sadness come. Feel that sadness experience that emotion and if it's connected to a fear challenge the fear and do that thing that scares you.
@@sirtarquin6306 Thank you for the advice, my depression is a bit different though, what used to trigger it to be worse was something I'd rather not talk about, but what I deal with is mostly the lingering feeling numbness and lack of interest in anything (simply put, because details are too long), so I feel like that needs a different solution and of course I'm working on it, but I hope your advice will help anyone else who sees it because that does sound like useful advice.
The main reason why the song is comforting for me is because when my depression was particularly bad, one of the triggers was overworking myself because I felt like I just wasn't enough, so the words "It's okay it could always be worse" feel reassuring in a nostalgic way because I've been steadily learning to not be so incredibly hard on myself.
I'm glad you're feeling better though and I wish you all the best.
@@alexxmichaelis5669 If you have problems with negative self talk just know that it's your psyche's backwards way of showing yourself love. Hope you get better buddy.

Coco Moon is amazing! I've been listening to it everyday. ❤ Thank you for such wonderful music, Adam!

Adam is a great Song Story Teller 🤯
🏄🌊
One of my favorite songs on the album! The chorus of this one is so catchy and, honestly, pretty quotable. "You can't stop the waves, But you can learn how to surf." "If it don't float your boat, learn to swim with the sharks." "Your tan proves you lived through the burn."
Easily the best absolute banger on the album lol
Great job owl
I think this is my favourite song from the album. Also, I just went on school camp and I learnt how to surf, which was cool!
Thanks so much Owl City. I absolutely love Coco Moon and I’m just about to order a CD of it. I cannot express how glad I am to have you back Adam. Keep making music forever (please)!!!🥥🌙🦉🌃
It’s so nice that your back man
