He's on a rip but he's a better rider
Than the boys who get caught up in the undertow
He's on a roll 'cause he's a child of nature
Take away the water and you freeze his soul yeah
And when he's on the big slide
He lets his hand trail through the water
And then he really feels alive
But he can't tell me why
He feels so close to the water
She's on the beach and she can see his laughter
He's as free as drunken kisses oh yeah
And she knows this is the boy she's after
Make a little wish
But he only lets the waves this close
He's in a dip on a road of danger
He'll never love if he can't let go yeah
He's in the grip of a holy stranger
Walking on the water when the sun sets
He's on a trip but in a bigger picture
Always in the water even when he's dry
He takes a sip from the living water
Now he's ready for the ride of his life
On the big slide
