[Verse 1: Forrest & Alexa]
Back when the year had a one in front
Back to pretend and lost kingdoms
Standing tall as some tree stumps, we'd just begun
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
Those pots and pans felt like our drums
We'd get lost under the sun
We'd just begun
Sometimes I sure do miss those days
Roam outside and go and play
Big wheels and birthday cakes
It was all okay
Live and learned from our mistakes
Some will fade and some will stay
Broke away from yesterday
And it's all okay
And it's all okay

[Verse 2: Forrest & Alexa]
Never woke up before noon
Cereal and old cartoons
Lazy days and pajama blues, nothing to lose
Every old place felt brand new
Never wondered who was who
Just some kids with sticks and glue, nothing to lose
Nowadays it's all replay
Youth still in our DNA
Find a spot to go sit and lay
And we'll wash away
Never trade these summer days
Same kids as yesterday
Sandcastles on the bay
And we'll wash away
And we'll wash away

Formed in 2017, Surfaces is a Texas-based duo made up of Forrest. and Colin Padalecki, making upbeat, feel-good pop influenced by ‘70s R&B, electronica, and hip-hop.

After working with his cousin in high school, Padalecki continued working on tracks while attending Texas A&M University, where he began posting songs online, which caught the attention of Forrest. In December 2017, Surfaces released their debut album, Surf, which included the song “Be Alright.”

The track gained fans online and helped build buzz for the duo, who eventually found themselves touring in support of the album. In 2019, they issued their sophomore LP, Where the Light Is, which included “Sunday Best,” catapulting the duo into the spotlight. Surfaces returned with their third album, Horizons, in 2020.
