Lyrics

It’s a regatta, it’s a wave race
A thousand faces in place
It’s a regatta, it’s daybreak
Hop on a boat and sail away

It’s a regatta, it’s a wave race
A thousand faces in place
It’s a regatta, it’s daybreak
Hop on a boat and sail away

To the Caymans
We’re going to Bermuda, gonna burn a few
Gonna take in the view
Remember that pic for the times in the city
When I’m stuck, and I’ve had enough
And I don’t want pity

I’ll remember the view between me and you
It’s the best we can do
When we live our life through the screen
We forget to be and forget that we’re free
Explore, rev up your engine, open the door
It’s a whole bright world out there
Set sail, and take care

It’s a regatta, it’s a wave race
A thousand faces in place
It’s a regatta, it’s daybreak
Hop on a boat and sail away

It’s a regatta, it’s a wave race
A thousand faces in place
It’s a regatta, it’s daybreak
Hop on a boat and sail away

Reflection off the salt water sea
Relax and become a creature
Sink to the bottom, find The Titanic
Or did it vanish? 

Did we reach the ocean floor?
Did you get what you came for?
Did we reach the ocean floor?
Did you get what you came for?

It’s a regatta, it’s a wave race
A thousand faces in place
It’s a regatta, it’s daybreak
Hop on a boat and sail away

It’s a regatta, it’s a wave race
A thousand faces in place
It’s a regatta, it’s daybreak
Hop on a boat and sail away

About This Song

Gentle sea-faring imagery depicting an escape from the city to the sea, and urging the listener to not get wrapped up in the rat race of the city or the digital world and screens

What is the song “Regatta” by Chad Lewine about?

I wrote this in 2013 and was already talking about not letting devices consume our reality.
