Lyrics

Verse 1

White foam rising up

Stretching out beneath a summer sun

Boards tucked under arm

Walking till the concrete path is done

Glassy hills keep moving

The tide is rolling in tonight

Pre-Chorus

Kick it out into the deep

Wait for that heavy crest to creep

Chorus

Oh oh blue ocean carry me home

Way out where the wild currents foam

I'm surfing on the shiny sea

Floating where I'm finally free

Riding high on top of the world

Let the big blue secrets be unfurled

Verse 2

Lifted through the salt spray

Saltwater washing all my worries thin

Heart starts beating fast

Feeling better since I dived right in

Watch the horizon glimmer

Nothing but the sky in view

Pre-Chorus

Paddle hard until I fly

Tracing lines against the golden sky

Chorus

Oh oh blue ocean carry me home

Way out where the wild currents foam

I'm surfing on the shiny sea

Floating where I'm finally free

Riding high on top of the world

Let the big blue secrets be unfurled

Bridge

Shoo-bee-doo

Every little ache is going

Far away

Falling off behind the spray

Gone today

Watch it drift into the grey

Chorus

Oh oh blue ocean carry me home

Way out where the wild currents foam

I'm surfing on the shiny sea

Floating where I'm finally free

Riding high on top of the world

Let the big blue secrets be unfurled

Post-Chorus

Wa-wa-wipeout

Surfing

Verse 2

Lifted through the salt spray

Saltwater washing all my worries thin

Heart starts beating fast

Feeling better since I dived right in

Watch the horizon glimmer

Nothing but the sky in view

Pre-Chorus

Paddle hard until I fly

Tracing lines against the golden sky

Chorus

Oh oh blue ocean carry me home

Way out where the wild currents foam

I'm surfing on the shiny sea

Floating where I'm finally free

Riding high on top of the world

Let the big blue secrets be unfurled

Bridge

Every little ache is going

Far away

Falling off behind the spray

Gone today

Watch it drift into the grey

Break

Final-Chorus

Oh oh blue ocean carry me home

Way out where the wild currents foam

I'm surfing on the shiny sea

Floating where I'm finally free

Riding high on top of the world

Let the big blue secrets be unfurled

Post-Chorus

Wa-wa-wipeout

Surfing the shiny sea

Blue ocean

Surfing the shiny sea
