Ride the Wave – Crimson Halo

Verse

Sunblock and cherry gloss, cooler full of ice

Windows down on the coast road, everything feels right

Your ankle bracelet jingles to the güira in the sound

Eighteen and reckless, best summer we found

Popsicle melting quick down my wrist

Salt water curls in your hair like a wish

Denim shorts and a tan line so bold

Nobody's checking the clock, we're twenty and gold

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear that bassline pulling you in?

Tide's coming up, we're chasing the wind

Don't look back at the shore, just go

Grab my hand, let the current flow

Chorus

Ride the wave, let the summer take control

Bare feet, warm sand, we don't need a goal

Ride the wave, headlights and radio

Young and free, baby this is how we go

Ride the wave, till the fireflies show

Ride the wave, this is all we know

Verse

Boombox on the tailgate, cherry red cup

Fireworks crackle, we don't wanna grow up

Your laugh cuts the static like a summer storm

Skin still sandy but your kiss keeps me warm

Corner store slushies, blue on your tongue

Count the stars falling till the night is done

Gasoline glow off the parking lot lights

We're paper airplanes catching the sky

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear that bassline pulling you in?

Tide's coming up, we're chasing the wind

Don't look back at the shore, just go

Grab my hand, let the current flow

Chorus

Ride the wave, let the summer take control

Bare feet, warm sand, we don't need a goal

Ride the wave, headlights and radio

Young and free, baby this is how we go

Ride the wave, till the fireflies show

Ride the wave, this is all we know

Bridge

Maybe September comes and steals the light

Maybe we scatter like sand in the night

But right now the engine's running, the horizon's wide

So hold on tighter, don't let go this time

Chorus

Ride the wave, let the summer take control

Bare feet, warm sand, we don't need a goal

Ride the wave, headlights and radio

Young and free, baby this is how we go

Ride the wave, till the fireflies show

Ride the wave, this is all we know
