lyrics

Selfless suicide,
Wading in sin for the ocean tide
Please just one more ride
Swim right out into the night

Carry me over the edge tonight
Ode to the surfer girl
She spends her life in a surfer world
No bullshit woman, my ocean pearl
Ode to the surfer girl

I surf to lose myself
I feel so free from everything else
These times keep me wet
Deliver me from my everyday hell

As I sink below,
There's at least one thing that I know
When I'm on my board
Hard times wash away with the undertow
Carry me over the edge tonight

Ode to the surfer girl
She spent her life in a surfer world
No bullshit woman, my ocean pearl
Ode to the surfer girl

Fight to find my board
I've never felt this tired before
Selfless suicide
Only for you would I give my life

But here is Paradise, 'cause now I go surfing all the time
Carry me over the edge tonight
Ode to the surfer girl
She spent her life in a surfer world
No bullshit woman, my ocean pearl
Ode to the surfer girl
