Lyrics
Kicking it back Sipping an IPA Yay Yay Yay Is your jacuzzi heated? Got all my friends back Home for the weekend Hit the beach in the evening Local summer, let it begin You got me feeling like Wavy Yeah, yeah I'm feeling Wavy Yeah, you got me Wavy You got me feeling like Wavy Yeah Yeah Swinging in a coconut Catching blue-green breezes To the beat of a dophin jump With a cup of easy You got me feeling sweet yeah You take me to the beach yeah Wavy Yeah we're feeling like Wavy Yeah you got me got me Wavy You got me grooving na na na na Wavy Ay Ay You got me When you tryna catch a wave You gonna have to find the sweet spot Like or not Yeah when you tryna catch a wave You gonna have to find the sweet spot Gotta learn what you forgot When you tryna catch a wave You gonna have to find the sweet spot Gotta learn what you forgot

Standalone single (October 22, 2021), feat. Celeste Krishna (Alabama-bred, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter). Luke Francis Walton wrote, performed, and mixed; Riley Knapp mastered. It landed two weeks after Big Hug (October 8, 2021), the same post-pandemic re-entry summer as the LP but in standalone beach-pop with a guest voice.
The first verse is a local-paradise checklist, an IPA, a heated jacuzzi, friends home for the weekend, a San Diego local summer breaking through June gloom. The chorus reuses the wavy vocabulary of Kick It in Nirvana (getting wavy with that good grass) on Big Hug, here sober and sunlit. The cartoon-beach verse stacks absurd images, swinging in a coconut to the beat of a dophin jump (the typo is preserved from DistroKid).
The bridge is surf philosophy: when you tryna catch a wave / you gonna have to find the sweet spot, repeated with gotta learn what you forgot, skill as memory and the relationship as wave-riding. A preview of Moonlight Beach (2023) and Feels So Good before the place-record commits, and the opposite season from the Little Hug lockdown.
