lyrics

SANTA CRUZ RIDGE

Meet a stranger but you feel like you know her
A glance, a hello, and a touch on the arm
And you're strapped in on a super rollercoaster
It's funny how these things always start
You wanna leave but the butterflies sing
And they flutter when you get a little closer
Now a years gone by, you'd think that I
Would know better how to show her

Chorus:
Well the Bluffs overlooking the coast line of the Santa Cruz Ridge
Stretch out across the ocean, but they never fall in
And the morning sun’s shadow hangs down over the water’s playful white caps
But the massive ridge she never does give, stays exactly where she’s at

Highway 1 by the coast of the ocean
We drove with the windows down
The radio was broken
And the wind was the only sound
You wanted me to show emotion
To say what I was feeling outloud
But I don't know where I got the notion
I'd done enough to show you by now

Chorus

It's a complicated human trait
How a heart seeks to be fulfilled
But were so hard-wired and stuck in this mire
In defense against a lifetime of guilt
Babe I ain't no mover of mountains
But you can make em outta mole hills
But I swear by God you can only try
As hard as the other person will

Chorus
