He's on a rip but he's a better rider Than the boys who get caught up in the undertow He's on a roll 'cause he's a child of nature Take away the water and you freeze his soul yeah
And when he's on the big slide He lets his hand trail through the water And then he really feels alive But he can't tell me why He feels so close to the water
She's on the beach and she can see his laughter He's as free as drunken kisses oh yeah And she knows this is the boy she's after Make a little wish But he only lets the waves this close
He's in a dip on a road of danger He'll never love if he can't let go yeah He's in the grip of a holy stranger Walking on the water when the sun sets He's on a trip but in a bigger picture Always in the water even when he's dry He takes a sip from the living water Now he's ready for the ride of his life On the big slide
