[Verse 1]

(In the waves) Perfect, awful, better, hopeful, borrow time

(In the waves) Angry, joyful, bitter, helpful, simplified

In your words, put it in your words

Centered, lifeless, brilliant, mindless, dignified

[Refrain]

And the waves come crashing down

[Verse 2]

(In the waves) Family, island, candid, liars, magnify

(In the waves) Patterns, colors come flying, mothers kill the time

Silent, put it in your words, say it in your words

[Verse 3]

Perfect, awful, better, hopeful, simplified

Perfect, awful, better, hopeful, perfect, awful, better, hopeful

Perfect, awful, better, hopeful, borrow time

Perfect, awful, better, hopeful, borrow time (Perfect)
