  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](https://celestekrishna.com/)** (Alabama-bred, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter). Luke Francis Walton wrote, performed, and mixed; Riley Knapp mastered. It landed two weeks after [*Big Hug*](/albums/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*](/songs/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*](/albums/moonlight-beach/) (2023) and [*Feels So Good*](/songs/feels-so-good/) before the place-record commits, and the opposite season from the [*Little Hug*](/albums/little-hug/) lockdown.
