My Perfect Day

My Perfect Day (Expanded from a journal entry of Matthew Boles 10/01/08)

I skate every day
With one hope in mind
Some day I’ll make it
I'll really be signed

I know I’m good
Real brave, some say crazy
What I do, no one else will
I’m the king of the big, the high, the far
I’m the king of the big, the high, the far

Wake up around 10 to a phone call
It’s from PitCrew Skate shop
Saying I’m officially sponsored
I go to the shop and get free shoes and a board

I skate every day
With one hope in mind
Some day I’ll make it
I'll really be signed

I know I’m good
Real brave, some say crazy
What I do, no one else will
I’m the king of the big, the high, the far
I’m the king of the big, the high, the far

I then go skate in Washington D.C.
With Bobby Worrest and Zach Lyons
Then that night,
Hang out with my girlfriend

I skate every day
With one hope in mind
Some day I’ll make it
I'll really be signed

I know I’m good
Real brave, some say crazy
What I do, no one else will
I’m the king of the big, the high, the far
I’m the king of the big, the high, the far

Watch a good movie
Eat food
Then go home, listen and play music and guitar
Then go to sleep

I skate every day
With one hope in mind
Some day I’ll make it
I'll really be signed

I know I’m good
Real brave, some say crazy
What I do, no one else will
I’m the king of the big, the high, the far
I’m the king of the big, the high, the far

Who knew that 24 days later
I would be gone
No longer to skate
In this beautiful world

I skate every day
With one hope in mind
Some day I’ll make it
I'll really be signed

I know I’m good
Real brave, some say crazy
What I do, no one else will
I’m the king of the big, the high, the far
I’m the king of the big, the high, the far

The skate park I envisioned
The sport I loved
The sister I watched over
The Family I loved

I was good
Maybe the best in the region
At what I did
I have a different mission now

I skate every day
With one hope in mind
Some day I’ll make it
I'll really be signed

I know I’m good
Real brave, some say crazy
What I do, no one else will
I’m the king of the big, the high, the far
I’m the king of the big, the high, the far

I hope you all remember me
The simple kid who loved to skate
I lived it all
And I was so happy!

Now, I skate every day
In a cloudy skate park
Some day you’ll see it
Yeah they skate up here

I know I’m lucky
Real thankful, some say humble
What I did, you can too
I’m the bearer of good news
I’m servant of our Heavenly Father

And even though
My Perfect Day was never to be
My time there was great
I hope you all remember me!
