My Perfect Wave

[Verse 1]
I’ve been tossed around by the ocean
Had my heart washed out to sea
Chased a few pretty sunsets
That weren’t really meant for me
Some waves came crashing down
Some just faded on the sand
But I kept on paddling out
With my heart still in my hands

[Pre-Chorus]
You can’t control the ocean
You can’t tell the tide to stay
Sometimes you gotta ride it out
Sometimes you drift away

[Chorus]
So ride the wave, ride the wave
Let the salty water spray
When the seas get rough and crazy
Don’t let love slip away
Some go high, some go low
Some just break and roll away
But every once in a lifetime
You find the perfect wave

[Verse 2]
I’ve had love like a hurricane
And love like a summer breeze
Some left me high and dry
Some brought me to my knees
Then you came rolling in
Like sunshine on the blue
Now every time the tide comes in
I’m riding next to you

[Pre-Chorus]
We can’t stop the thunder
Or make the storm clouds part
But we can keep on surfing
With a little faith and heart

[Chorus]
So ride the wave, ride the wave
Let the salty water spray
When the seas get rough and crazy
Don’t let love slip away
Some go high, some go low
Some just break and roll away
But every once in a lifetime
You find the perfect wave

[Bridge]
Some days we’re dancing on the water
Some days we’re barely hanging on
But even when the sky turns darker
Together we’ll ride until the dawn
And if we tumble in the water
We’ll come up laughing anyway
’Cause love ain’t about avoiding storms
It’s who you’re with along the way

[Final Chorus]
Let’s ride the wave, ride the wave
Let the whole world drift away
Through the sunshine and the thunder
I’m beside you all the way
We’ll go high, we’ll go low
Let the wind and water play
After all those years of searching
I finally found my perfect wave

[Outro]
Yeah, the ocean’s wild and crazy
But there’s one thing I can say
Of all the waves I’ve ridden
You’re the one that made me stay
Oh-oh-oh, ride the wave…
You and me, babe…
My perfect wave. 🌊
