[Verse 1] Gimmie someone with a little grit Rogue and free, not afraid to commit Someone who isn’t gonna bail In it for the grind, not just chasing some tail Meets my crux, tags my heart Bleeds on the board, breaks apart Sunset blur, Santa Monica streets Wheels on the pavement, beat to beat [Pre-Chorus] I’m not your stickered-up, dream-girl scene I’m dirt under my nails and ripped-up jeans They throw looks like I’m outta place But he skates beside me, and matches my pace [Chorus] Skating through the heat, chasing wind and waves Looking for a soul that won’t misbehave Someone who falls, but gets back scarred Who don’t flinch when I push too hard We split a slice, with vinyl in the air Pearl Jam playing, with my messed up hair Not a prince, not a savior from the start Just a grunge-souled boy who’ll meet me halfway And earn this heart [Verse 2] Caught a slam near Rose, blood on my knee He laughed, then offered his hoodie to me Didn’t flinch when I cursed the sky Didn’t run when I said I don’t cry I’m not the soft-core soundtrack girl I’m unconventional in a polished world So when I ghost, will you still chase? Or just chalk me up as a pretty face? [Pre-Chorus] No sugar-coat, no bubblegum grin This heart’s got scuffs, but it lets you in If you still skate when the weather turns gray I might just let you stay [Chorus] Skating through the heat, chasing wind and waves Looking for a soul that won’t misbehave Someone who falls, but gets back scarred Who don’t flinch when I push too hard Share a slice, vinyl in the air Nirvana playing, wind blown hair Not a prince, not a savior from the start Just a grunge-souled boy who’ll meet me halfway And earn this heart [Bridge] I ain't no Alta Beauty queen Not a Poster babe or an unrealistic Dream Can you roll with me when shit gets Dire? Catch me mid-fall and not call me a liar? If I break will you patch, not replace me? If I run will you skate to chase me? [Final Chorus] Still skating through the heat, still chasing waves But now there’s a name I wanna save Someone who sees through the scrapes and the guard Who leans in when I’m pulling hard We split a slice, vinyl in the air Something in the way I know you care Not a dream, not a phase or a chart Just a grunge-souled boy who met me halfway And won this HEART!
