PCH To The Boardwalk
Swagmeier
[Verse 1]
Sand between the toes of my Adidas
watching my nephew build a castle that the tide gonna take
and I'm learning something about architecture
how nothing really stays but the trying does
My auntie used to say the ocean got memory
holds onto everyone who ever touched it
I'm coasting down PCH with the windows cracked
thinking about rent but not too hard
because the sun doing that thing where it turns everything amber
and my mans in the passenger seat eating mango slices
talking about his daughter's first word
Life been a lot of stop signs lately
but today we rolling through yellow lights with gratitude
[Chorus]
Riding easy when the waves come
not fighting the current
just floating with intention
Riding easy when the waves come
small victories taste better in the breeze
[Verse 2]
My grandma kept a garden in the backyard
said you can't rush tomatoes into ripeness
I think about that when I'm anxious about the album
or the fact that my homeboy didn't make it to thirty
but his daughter got his smile and that's a kind of forever
I'm parallel parking in front of the taqueria
where they know my order and my middle name
bought a lottery ticket I'll never check
because hope feel good in my pocket
The homie say I'm too in my head
but I think I'm just the right amount of aware
that every Tuesday I wake up is a minor miracle
and I'm trying to treat it like that
[Chorus]
Riding easy when the waves come
not fighting the current
just floating with intention
Riding easy when the waves come
small victories taste better in the breeze
[Outro]
The balance ain't perfect but it's mine
and the road keep bending
and I keep steering
