Good or bad, sometimes emotions just crash into you. If you can learn how to see them coming and get up on top, you'll have a better ride.
lyrics
Let’s go surfin’ - surfin’ the emotional wave
Early in the mornin’ it’s time to rise
And paddle out into the day
Sometimes you see it before it hits
Comin’ from miles away
Sometimes you’re not so lucky and it takes you by surprise
So grit your teeth and try to be brave
Surfin’ the emotional wave
Here comes depression and anger too
A little anxiety comin’ at you
Self-doubt’s gonna be right behind
Hopelessness breakin’ over your mind
Happy and sad and good and bad
Ridin’ on top is totally rad
Let’s go surfin’ - surfin’ the emotional wave
The first time you’re surfin’ you’re gonna fall
That’s really just the name of the game
It’s hard to guess which way they’ll break
Cause no two waves are the same
But sooner or later you’ll get on top and ride ‘em back to shore
So grit your teeth and try to be brave
Surfin’ the emotional wave
Here comes depression and anger too
A little anxiety comin’ at you
Self-doubt’s gonna be right behind
Hopelessness breakin’ over your mind
Happy and sad and good and bad
Ridin’ on top is totally rad
Let’s go surfin’ - surfin’ the emotional wave
At therapy sessions they’re learnin’ the tricks
Of how to ride ‘em just like a pro
Doin’ their mental exercises
Gettin’ stronger gettin’ ready to go
Self-care is your surf wax so you don’t get wiped out
Now grit your teeth and try to be brave
Surfin’ the emotional wave
Here comes depression and anger too
A little anxiety comin’ at you
Self-doubt’s gonna be right behind
Hopelessness breakin’ over your mind
Happy and sad and good and bad
Ridin’ on top is totally rad
Let’s go surfin’ - surfin’ the emotional wave
Surfin’ the emotional wave
Surfin’ the emotional wave
Surfin’ the emotional wave
