about

From Libby Rodenbough (who sings on this track):

Whether you are a skateboard lover or a jealous onlooker, our song is for you to enjoy this summer. Let ice cream melt down your wrist and get into some dumb shit. Live like you aren’t that concerned about keeping your skin intact. Have fun!

lyrics

Out on the blacktop, Skin kneed broken eggs
I’m at the starbucks, soft boiled and sugar fed
(Deny?) the green ones, their moment in the sun
And watch them harden into fossils, before they’ve begun

Skateboard Lovers bind each others wounds, everyday
That’s why we have to tear each other up
Cause’ I could never skate

Across the halfpipe, they’re making goo goo eyes
We keep our focus on the cold pursuit of paradise
I wear a question, where all my scars should be
I built a tower so I could watch them make a fool of me

Skateboard Lovers bind each others wounds, everyday
That’s why we have to tear each other up
Cause’ I could never

Skateboard Lovers bind each others wounds, everyday
That’s why we have to tear each other up
Cause’ I could never skate

Whats never broken
Can not be rearranged

What’s never broken…

Skateboard Lovers bind each others wounds, everyday
That’s why we have to tear each other up
Cause’ I could never

Skateboard Lovers bind each others wounds, everyday
That’s why we have to tear each other up
Cause’ I could never
