Ride the Wave

Verse

Gold chain sunset, glass in my hand

Ice cubes clicking like a jazz little band

Twenty-two and the whole coast knows my name

Engine humming low, we don't play it tame

Salt on my collar, cash in my shoe

Every clock in this town keeps time to my cue

Convertible top down, city lights blur

She said slow it down, boy, but I don't defer

Pre-Chorus

So tell me why we'd walk

When we were built to fly

Tell me who's got more

Than a summer and this sky

Chorus

We ride the wave, we ride it slow

Sun on our skin, nowhere to go

Twenty and gold, we own tonight

Ride the wave till the morning light

Verse

Boardwalk lanterns, neon and lime

Pockets full of nothing but borrowed time

She's got a laugh like a firecracker snap

I lean back easy, no need for a map

Palm trees leaning like they're in on the deal

Every corner of this night feels real

Bass in the floorboards, stars keeping score

We already won, so what's chasing for

Pre-Chorus

So tell me why we'd walk

When we were built to fly

Tell me who's got more

Than a summer and this sky

Chorus

We ride the wave, we ride it slow

Sun on our skin, nowhere to go

Twenty and gold, we own tonight

Ride the wave till the morning light

Bridge

Someday these days will be photographs

Faded blue, a little laugh

But right now the water's warm and wide

And I ain't scared of the other side

Let the tide come take what it came to take

We were never here to break

Chorus

We ride the wave, we ride it slow

Sun on our skin, nowhere to go

Twenty and gold, we own tonight

Ride the wave till the morning light

Ride the wave, one more time

Ride the wave, you and I
