Wave by Eric William Morris, Joe Iconis Lyrics
[Verse 1]
History is hard to know
A moment happens, you move on
Memories mutate, leave or grow
But strangely some are never gone
My memory of that time is clear
Based on one or five or forty nights
I'd leave a Fillmore drenched in beer
Get in my car, aim for the lights
[Chorus]
And it didn't matter which way I went 'cause I knew
Where I ended up people would be there who
Were just as high and wild as I was
And just as brave
We were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave
[Verse 2]
Sparks were flying left and right
The old and evil waged their war
We didn't battle, wouldn't fight
They asked us "Why?"
We said "What for?"
We had momentum, they had none
The change in wind was in our sail
Knew how our battle would be won
Our energy would simply prevail
[Chorus]
And it didn't matter which way I went 'cause I knew
Where I ended up people would be there who
Were just as high and wild as I was
And just as brave
We were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave
[Verse 3]
Yeah we were all moving together then and we knew
That as the hurricane raged and the cold wind blew
That we'd be sailing together and getting to
That new horizon that we could see
And we just knew, inevitably
That we should be so wild and free
Walking on solid ground we'd soon pave
After riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave
[Verse 4]
Now today on a hill in Las Vegas
If you look to the west past the neon-soaked skies
If you look to the west with the right kind of eyes
You can see it past the desert through the dark
You can almost see that high water mark
That sight that will ignite the fade to black
Where the wave finally broke and rode back
Whoosh, crash
Whoosh, crash
Whoosh, crash
Whoosh, crash
Whoosh, crash
Whoosh, crash
History is hard to know
A moment happens, you move on
Memories mutate, leave or grow
But strangely some are never gone
My memory of that time is clear
Based on one or five or forty nights
I'd leave a Fillmore drenched in beer
Get in my car, aim for the lights
[Chorus]
And it didn't matter which way I went 'cause I knew
Where I ended up people would be there who
Were just as high and wild as I was
And just as brave
We were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave
[Verse 2]
Sparks were flying left and right
The old and evil waged their war
We didn't battle, wouldn't fight
They asked us "Why?"
We said "What for?"
We had momentum, they had none
The change in wind was in our sail
Knew how our battle would be won
Our energy would simply prevail
[Chorus]
And it didn't matter which way I went 'cause I knew
Where I ended up people would be there who
Were just as high and wild as I was
And just as brave
We were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave
[Verse 3]
Yeah we were all moving together then and we knew
That as the hurricane raged and the cold wind blew
That we'd be sailing together and getting to
That new horizon that we could see

If you look to the west with the right kind of eyes

Where the wave finally broke and rode back
Whoosh, crash
Whoosh, crash
Whoosh, crash
Whoosh, crash
Whoosh, crash
Whoosh, crash
