Mama said, "Boy stay clear of the water
When you're blue and still catching fire"
And I've learnt from my father
To listen to my mother
So I'm cooling waiting by the shore

Replaying all my memories from Georgia
Passing time to fill the void
Edging closer to the water
But I'm further than I wanna
Still cooling waiting by the shore

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

Pretending I'm away in California (ooh)
Leaving my shadow in the dust (ooh)
It's like running from altar (ooh)
To the arms of another
So I'm cooling waiting by the shore (ooh), ohh

Well, mama said, "Boy stay clear of the water
When you're blue and still catching fire"
And I've learnt from my father
To listen to my mother
So I'm cooling waiting by the shore

Still cooling waiting by the shore, oh, yeah
Still cooling waiting by the shore, ohh
Cooling like my mama's boy

Mmh, mmh
