Sand in My Musubi

Haupia Telegraph

Lyrics

Verse 1

Caught six good sets underneath the hot sun,
Last wave in... man, that was fun.
Paddled in at White Plains Beach,
Lunch was finally within reach.
She reached in her purse,
Pulled out a Spam musubi.
Smiled and said,
"This one's for you."
I smiled right back...
What a perfect day...
Didn't know she'd be gone...
Almost right away.

Pre-Chorus

Wax on my fingers...
Salt on my hands...
One little fumble...
Right into the sand.

Chorus

Sand in my musubi...
Crunching every bite...
She said,
"Brah... no way..."
I said,
"I'll be all right."
Tried to steal one kiss...
With sandy lips...
That's when my wahine...
Called it quits.
Still ate the whole thing...
Crunch and all...
Some days at the beach...
You just can't have it all.

Verse 2

Blew it off...
Tapped it twice...
Told myself,
"It still looks nice."
One big bite...
Extra crunch...
Still wasn't wasting
One good lunch.
She said,
"Seriously?"
I just smiled...
She grabbed her towel...
Said,
"See ya."

Bridge

Surf wax...
Sea salt...
Sand between my toes...
Some lessons...
You only learn...
The hard way...
I suppose.

Final Chorus

Sand in my musubi...
Crunching every bite...
She found another surfer...
Before the end of the night.
Still got wax...
Still got sand...
Still got lunch...
In my hand.
Still ate the whole thing.

Outro

Shoots...
Probably would've done it again.
