Seth Strickland (1997) V1: Seemingly seduced by Venice. I ride the waves while smoking the Pettis Contemplate the weight of a move. Wish I could share it with you Completely I’m amazed by the ocean, I’d not yet had the chance to behold it Watch a set roll in from the roof, wish I could share it with you CH: The sun just hit my eyes, oceans calm and I am so high But you’re not by my side, to share this here, for you I pine V2: Really don’t think I should tell this, says she wants to live north of Venice in a little place called Santa Cruz, wish I could share it with you Kelly I’m amazed by the ocean, it’s just like you said, just like you said to behold it, behold it. To hold it wish I held you B: The salt is revealing to me. I’d not yet taste this destiny. And it’s alright with me that you’ll be gone Europe so far away I wrote you this song

Steve Strickland (1976) V1: In a small town everything moves slow except the rumors. The people there, they don’t mean any harm.

There is no escape from the real inside V2: In a small town, there’s a dusty main street. It’s the end of the road, well at least the main one And the fast cars move slow motion, they’re geared low They don’t want tare up a little town, where they done all their growin’ up
