lyrics

I was waiting in darkness
it took a long year to receive
how the ocean tugs at the coastline
and you sail further from me

like streams carved into canyons
smoothing out my dull ache
what I didn't think I'd abandon
is starting to fade away

I tried again, breathing you in
salt and water in a fragile air
and I never tried fighting the tide
I lost the fuel to be the light that guides
your shipwrecked soul back to your home

the glitter spilt on the sidewalk
shines in the headlights of
all the loneliest cars on the highway
the longest night hanging above

like dreams carved into daylight
I'm starting to fall awake
the sirens over the city
stopped hollering your name

I tried again, breathing you in
salt and water in a fragile air
and I never tried fighting the tide
I lost the fuel to be the light that guides
your shipwrecked soul back to your home
