Perfect Wave Lyrics - Dams Of The West

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
