Lyrics

I’ll second guess if givin’ enough time
Lately self medicate with vape & wine
Going to see the ocean, California friend
Seek mermaid treasure as an offering

Waves crash down, falling to pieces
Tide pulls back in, like keepin’ a secret

Abalone

Have you ever known someone who was born ready?
Seen the face of Jesus in morning coffee?
Try and leap tall buildings in a single bound?
Let a dream just float away in a cloud

To come crashing down, broke to pieces
California cove, you’re just what I needed

Abalone

Mother of Pearl to lend, piece of mind again
Shells known for centuries, balance and harmony

(Solo)

Waves crash down, falling to pieces
Tide pulls back in, like keeping a secret
Deep down within, a mystical legion
California cove, you’re just what I needed

Abalone
