MINUS THE BEAR LYRICS - This Ain't A Surfin' Movie

"This Ain't A Surfin' Movie"



When I turned the page

The corner bent into a perfect dog ear

As if the words knew I'd need them again

But at that time I couldn't see it

I would read that page every day for the next year



She sang a short tune

And I came from her soft touch and slept



We sat on a shoreline watching wind scalp the white off the waves

Sitting on a shoreline, and if I could do it, I'd dog ear this page

We spoke about growing old and filling the future's empty stage



I hope the weather holds

But you don't need the sun to make you shine

These island towns don't care for city folk

But I think we can starve the city from our minds



I know we won't want for much

It's just mea and you and a bed and a shoreline
