163 - Backyard Blue

[Verse 1] Mask on Zip the suit Boardwalk sand on my boots Coffee cup on the dash Fog burns off in a flash Westbound Freeway hum Windows down Here we come Who needs some far-off bay When the waves are calling our name

[Pre-Chorus] From the pier to the kelp line We’re just ten short minutes away Why stare at the skyline When the whole wild world’s in the spray? (yeah yeah)

[Chorus] We got the ocean in our backyard Drop down Heartbeat starts SoCal water in our lungs and hearts (Sing it) hey Hey Underwater Every bubble like a backyard star So amazing that it’s not that far We got the ocean in our backyard Our backyard Our backyard (hey!)

[Verse 2] Roll back Splash of chill Slow breath Sudden thrill Garibaldi flashing gold Leopard sharks cruising slow Sea lions swoop in two Like they’re showing off the view High-rises fade to none Down here It’s all in one

[Pre-Chorus] From the break to the canyon It’s a short drive Gear in the trunk Why dream of some island When the reefs are right where we bunk? (come on)

[Chorus] We got the ocean in our backyard Drop down Heartbeat starts SoCal water in our lungs and hearts (Sing it) hey Hey Underwater Every bubble like a backyard star So amazing that it’s not that far We got the ocean in our backyard Our backyard Our backyard (woah)

[Bridge] Shout “So-Cal!” (So-Cal!) Shout “Dive deep!” (Dive deep!) If you love this big blue playground Sing it after me

I say “backyard” — you say “blue!” Backyard! (Blue!) Backyard! (Blue!) I say “right here” — you say “you!” Right here! (You!) Right here! (You!)

[Chorus] We got the ocean in our backyard Drop down Heartbeat starts SoCal water in our lungs and hearts (Sing it) hey Hey Underwater Every bubble like a backyard star So amazing that it’s not that far We got the ocean in our backyard Our backyard Our backyard

[Chorus] We got the ocean in our backyard Flip fins Fall through the spark SoCal sunshine fading into dark (Sing it) hey Hey Underwater From the harbor to the rocky bar Tell your neighbor You don’t have to go far We got the ocean in our backyard Our backyard Our backyard (hey!) Right in our backyard (one more time!) Our backyard Backyard blue
