What I can't fix when you turn it on, my wish for you, is that you let it take you
in the same way that I let water take me when it's rolling in from the ocean onto a beach.
There's a certain amount of calm that happens to me and a lot of times, especially nowadays,
it feels like the complication level of life is like taking chess and making 3D chess out
of it.
It's even hard to think your way through some problems to the point where it's overwhelming
and it's not necessarily that I feel like I can't cognitively deal with the complication
of life.
It's that I am cognitively aware that pulling on one thing, sometimes the whole sweater
is going to come apart.
And I think about it to the point where I don't want to pull on anything.
When we were writing this song, I had already started 52 and I giggled at myself not even
remembering that I had put the number into this song.
In the lyric, I've got 52 problems hitchhiking on my problems.
And when Connie Harrington said that lyric, I just about fell out because that's what
it feels like.
I got problems hitchhiking on my problems.
That's how many there are.
And a lot of times, we forget that something very simple as taking yourself to the beach
can do some magic.
And may you play this song beside the swimming pool for the rest of your life.
And remember that really, it's not that many things that a beach can't fix.
