Thanks for posting the right lyrics, Stevenman. I was already doubting my own ears as EVERYONE on the net has got the wrong words.
About the song, I think it talks about a bunch of friends who decide to leave town and take a crazy trip. So they agree to get a car, get all their stuff in it and hit the road so that they get to run away from some unpleasant reality they all live. But trying to find this whole new carefree reality, they drink and crash their car before they even get away and still get in trouble with the police. And it seems a pretty depressing song to me (though I absolutely love this song), because it kinda says that fate will get you anyway and if you try to escape it, you force yourself into a loop. Being the ocean and the salt air would be feeling this need for space and being raw as a force of nature, but corrosive at the same time, able to wear things out and destroy (?). I'm trying hard here. Any help finding the meaning to this song?
