Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wherever the wind blows
When it blows over the sea
The moon's sitting high
Waves will rise
Water shapes
Waves will take you, take you there
[Verse 2]
Surf's up tonight
Surf's up tonight
[Verse 3]
Summer's on hold
It will go running away
You gotta move now
Get inside
Take that dive
Get inside today
[Verse 4]
Surf's up tonight
Now, I was lonely
And you were too
I met you down at the waterline
Now there's something we can do
Now there's something left to do
Oh, yeah
[Verse 5]
Surf's up tonight
Surf's up tonight
[Verse 6]
Wherever you are
When you're coming over land
There's a place where you can throw it all away
There's a place where you can forget
You get wet
It's free
You get high
You're alive
[Verse 7]
Surf's up tonight
Surf's up tonight
Come on up tonight
Surf's up tonight
[Verse 8]
Surf's up tonight
Surf's up tonight
Surf's up tonight
Surf's up tonight
