Salt On My Sneakers

A sun-bleached island-rock drift with enough trouble in it to stay alive, built around clean guitars, loose freedom, and the kind of afternoon that refuses to tidy itself up.

Production Notes

The guitars stay clean enough to keep the track bright, but the rhythm section gives it a little drag and grit so it doesn’t drift into postcard sweetness.

What makes it stick is the casual defiance in the lyric. It’s not trying to escape consequences, just refusing to let them own the whole day.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Got sand in my backseat
Salt on my sneakers
Last night’s plans
Still stuck to this T-shirt
You say I should grow up
I say “maybe later”
Got one more wave to chase
One more bad idea

[Chorus]
We got all day
We got all night
Burning slow
But it feels so right
Sun in our eyes and trouble on our minds
Call it wrong
But it feels like freedom
Barefoot hearts
Yeah we still believe ’em
Breaking all the little rules we find
Just to pass the time

[Verse 2]
Phone’s on the towel
Face-down
Forgotten
Your laugh cuts the heat
Like a drink at the bottom
You draw in my notebook
Little skulls
Little halos
Say “be good” as you climb
On my shoulders for the rainbow

[Chorus]
We got all day
We got all night
Burning slow
But it feels so right
Sun in our eyes and trouble on our minds
Call it wrong
But it feels like freedom
Barefoot hearts
Yeah we still believe ’em
Breaking all the little rules we find
Just to pass the time

[Bridge]
Maybe we’re just passing through
Faded towels and cheap tattoos (oh yeah)
If this is all we ever do
I’m still alright
I’m still alright

[Chorus]
We got all day
We got all night
Burning slow
But it feels so right
Sun in our eyes and trouble on our minds
Call it wrong
But it feels like freedom
Barefoot hearts
Yeah we still believe ’em
Breaking all the little rules we find
Just to pass the time (hey!)
Just to pass the time
