Getting Thru

Notes

Lori and I were out in Santa Cruz in '08 I believe. We were hiking along the ocean and we found this beautiful, secluded alcove. The waves were crashing on the shore, it was probably 75 degrees, blue skies, we were stretched out in the sand and it was heaven. Months later when this song idea hit me, I just put myself back on the shore, in the sand with the person I'm in love with. Then the song came easy.

Lyrics

Look at the birds in the sky see 'em fly pay no mind to the meantime
We're just relaxing when the tide comes crashing hear the waves go rolling by
Look at the sun how it paints using colors that no artist could ever find
Look at the stars the way they shine in your eyes like somebody who's seen the light

Am I getting thru
Am I getting thru to you?

I wanna take you in my arms in the moment on the street in the city light

I wanna hear you as you talk when you laugh while you tell me it's gonna be fine

I wanna lay in the grass in the park in the dark by the riverside
I wanna sleep next to you till the morning wake me up with the sunshine

Am I getting thru
Am I getting thru to you?

Look at the birds in the sky see 'em fly pay no mind to the meantime
We're just relaxing when the tide comes crashing hear the waves go rolling by
Look at the sun how it paints using colors that no artist could ever find

Look at that love all around you feel the touch it surrounds you from the inside

Am I getting thru
Am I getting thru to you?
