Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness - Get on My Wave
I wrote and produced “Get On My Wave” with Kyle “King Tuff” Thomas the day we met last summer. I’ve struggled with releasing the song during the pandemic because it felt too happy; detached from the tumult of our current world. Lately it’s been making more sense to me. It’s a song about love and alienation and how in a world where things can look perfect on the surface there are always currents running beneath and tides which push and pull at the shore. It’s about finding your people and acknowledging your relationship with those forces outside of your control and saying, “let’s ride this out together.”

LYRICS
Woke up late today
Laid there for an hour or two
Looking at the whole wide world
And wondering about a spaceman
Made a cup of coffee
If you were here I would’ve made two
Painted both hands blue
So I could blend in with the sky
Now the coast is on fire
And I’m drinking in the day
Got a shack out by the water
I walk to everything
And when the moon climbs
I listen for the fights in the ally
Chorus
Get on my wave
Cause the sun don’t shine
When you’re not by
It’s hard to keep riding
Get on my wave
Cause the sun don’t shine
When you’re not by
It’s hard to keep riding
I get overwhelmed
Paddling out into the rising tide
You were my whole wide world
And I was just in space, man
Now you’re everywhere
And I would like to be there, too
So, I paint myself blue
Hoping I could be your sky
Now the coast is on fire
And we’re drinking in the day
Got a shack out by the water
We walk to everything
And when the moon climbs
We listen for the fights in the ally
Get on my wave
Cause the sun don’t shine
When you’re not by
It’s hard to keep riding
Get on my wave
Cause the sun don’t shine
When you’re not by
It’s hard to keep riding
Get on my wave
Cause the sun don’t shine
When you’re not by
It’s hard to keep riding
Get on my wave
Cause the sun don’t shine
When you’re not by
It’s hard to keep riding#AndrewMcMahon #GetOnMyWave #KingTuff
