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.
Same bro
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
What a jam
Indeed it is my dude
😅
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.
@@valeriacalderone7513 It shows you're only doing this for attention. Leave.
@@ineedakitkat6628 carpet tires
@valeriacalderone7513 i support the dude, we need less hate in the world
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"
I'm actually glad that Adam is back making music.
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 ❤️
Best Song Ever! This deserves a full music video and a grammy!
I hope he does a music video. 🏄✨
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
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
15 years of amazing good vibes music. You go Adam! ♥
I really hope The Tornado gets a real music video. That would be insane!
It would be aweseome!
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.
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!
Owl City’s voice is so incredible
He’s performing at SeaWorld tonight…… A match made in heaven. 😌🌊
The only artist I will never get tired of listening to.
This song is such a banger!!!
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...^^
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
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
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!🖤
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.
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
Such a great song!! Reminds me of OG Owl City
Owl City has been my go-to “happy music” for over a decade now, and songs like this are exactly why.
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 !
No cursing, No sexual stuff, just pure talent.
Amen!!!
That’s why I love Owl City
Thats why Owl City is GOLD
and the truth talking about God.
Amen ✨
I am just glad that owl city is back. I can finnaly enjoy the present like nostalgia
this album is everything
If I had the ability to time travel and show people in the 1980s one song, this would be it.
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.
Yaaaay. Amé esta canción Adam! Gracias! 🏄❤️🇲🇽
Adam, haznos bailar con esta canción plz 💃🏽
sí que lo hizo uwu
I hope everyone has a blessed day
Owlcity is making our summer good with these songs
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
This is, by far, my favorite song on Coco Moon.
your music just makes me miss early 2010s so much I can't describe it
This Whole Album slaps unironically.
Owl City is back and he is back with new energy!
Hands down the best one on the album. It’s so addictive
Love this. I plan on choreographing a dance to this for the littles in dance camp this summer 🏄♂️
That's awesome!
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. ☮🕊
Been exactly a year! Hello from March 30, 2024! THIS SONG IS GREAT!

I love the retro style of the music & the video!
the nostalgia on this album is healing me
Love you, Adam 🎵❤️
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 ❤
The synth solo checks out. Extreme awesomeness. Love the modulations and harmonics on the sound.
Thank you, Adam. You're my hero
Every single time, Adam delivers. What a joy! ❤️
This man is such an incredible artist. So good on so many levels.
Loved it. You’re my hero, Adam

My favorite song from this album! And the beginning reminds me of All Star, an added bonus
We needed this so much in 2023! Brings tears to my eyes how great this song is.
SO READY FOR THIS!!!! 🎉
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! 🤌🏻❤️
So perfect and kind how Adam can be lovely all the time!
Such an uplifting music!
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)!!!🥥🌙🦉🌃
Aqui un fan de aquellos tiempos como siempre presente en todos los lanzamientos de esta agrupacion , saludos desde PERU.
How do you get that emoji?
@@TP_playz_1
Coco Moon is amazing! I've been listening to it everyday. ❤ Thank you for such wonderful music, Adam!
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.
Adam young is back.. i love every song he sing❤😊
You're a blessing Adam.
Rock on 🦉 🏢
This should be a summer hit! ⛱️ 🌊
It’s so nice that your back man
I absolutely love all the new Owl City songs!
They always make me smile and will get stuck in my head for hours
This song makes me feel happy for no reason ! I really like it, keep going Owl City !
Great song. Prob my favorite from the album, along with Vitamin Sea. Glad that Owl City is releasing music again. Have listened to every album, some great tunes over the years
I love the summer vibes in this and vitamin sea. Thank Adam I definitely gonna blast them on the beach 🏖️
Bro!! ADAM, POETIC at your finest brother!! I freaking love you dude. You always make my day TONS better.
I love all the beach, ocean, and tide references in his songs!!
Hells yeah! Love it, am 19 and your music is pure nostalgia. So glad you are still making music ❤❤
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!!
Yet another amazing music video for this incredible album!
FINALLY a song source that teaches us literally about life and life choices.
Gorgeous animation! Owl city is back!!!
I've been watching this guy for so long thank you for entertainment and cheering me up with your songs
My first Owl City premiere ever, very excited :D
I can’t wait to hear this song live in October!! I hope you perform this one!! ❤❤❤
I'm so excited for this 🤩
I come from Africa. I love your songs...
Been livin in Santa Cruz for the past 2+ years and gotta this song really embodies the vibe of Santa Cruz. Love it!!!
It’s something about his song but even his NEW songs that sounds nostalgic about it… he has nostalgia power or something 😭🤣
One of my favorites on the album so far! Keep up the great work!
Thought I’d never hear any more songs from this band again.
he’s going on tour soon!
It's not a BAND. 🫡
The crazy thing is this isn’t a band, it’s one dude! Or at least his old stuff that sounded a lot like this was just him. He had bad insomnia problems in his teenage-early 20s years, so he would stay up at night tinkering with synthesizers and music making software and he came up with this synth-poppy, “happy” sound that I’ve loved ever since I first listened to him.
Always love Adam's writing. Going with the flow on this song!
Seas the day!! Oh my goodness love that
I now know how to surf
Thanks
Also, the way you sing is actually amazing, when you draw out your words
Nobody can even compare to it I swear
One of my favorite songs from the album. So much fun energy✨
Adam ...thank you so much again .. seriously you are like an angel for me 7 years ago your songs healed me nd again it's doing the same ❤ i missed you thank you for coming back ..your existence makes us happy
Learn how to surf and your worries will go away. Nah thanks I just need owl city and his tunes and we’re good.
Thankful that this song dropped when it did. I needed this tonight!
Omg this álbum gonna be a mix of all discography and demos by Adam love it ❤
This needs a music video!! ❤❤❤ Love it!!
