Perfect Wave

You want to pretend that the storm never happened
I could see you when I walk on the wall right over there
Maybe not this corner
Or this calendar year, but
One day my delusions of confidence will come to bear
Some kind of fruit
May be bitter, may be sweet
Have some good friends over
Break it down to a nice old break
We should call around the streets to Miami day (?)
Try to make a buck
I could see it working out that way

You should go ahead and
Dig your own grave
Think of the money
The money that you would save
You could go ahead and
Misbehave
Cause you never gonna find that
Perfect wave

In a well lit room
Took a seat on a couch
Listen to my father in-law
Tell a pirate story
Stressing the importance
That we are a family now
1979
It was a faded glory
Eventually he moves on
Pours me a glass of wine
It's been a while since I had one
I've been really trying to get some work done
Have a couple more
And call it a night
I can tell he likes me alright
But he never really wanted a son

You should go ahead and
Dig your own grave
Think of the money
The money that you would save
You could go ahead and
Misbehave
Cause you never gonna find that
Perfect wave

Till I get what I paid for
I paid for what I got
The bones are okay, but
The (?) crumbles at the touch
It'll take some time to build it out just right
Hours too big but
I never really do that much
Who cares if I never have the coldest fridge in the city
If something goes bad
I could just walk to the store
On the bus ride home
From the hospital
I thought to myself
CT, man you should really reach out more

I tried to go ahead and
Dig my own grave
Thought of the money
The money that I would save
I just went ahead and
Misbehaved
Cause I never did ride that
Perfect wave
