Current Vertigo

Verse

Salt on my knuckles, the dock boards crack

Your boat's a shadow I won't call back

Northern wind combs through the pines

Cutting the silence into lines

Ice on the rope where our hands used to meet

Frost taking root beneath my feet

The tide pulls harder than your last goodbye

Dragging the horizon low in the sky

Pre-Chorus

Can I stand here steady, can I hold this ground

While the current's dragging every sound

Something in the water's calling out my name

Chorus

This is the current vertigo

Pulling me under, letting go

Spinning through the dark and back to blue

Losing you to find the truth

Current vertigo, rising tide

Drowning out the fear inside

Every wave that breaks me open wide

This is the current vertigo

Verse

Church bells sinking underneath the flood line

Candles gutter but the wax still climbs

I carved your name in the frozen dock

Watched it melt in the morning shock

The current's turning, pulling toward the sun

Every ending feels like it's just begun

I let the water carry what I said

Now the current's lifting me instead

Pre-Chorus

Can I stand here steady, can I hold this ground

While the current's turning me around

Something in the water's calling me back home

Chorus

This is the current vertigo

Pulling me under, letting go

Spinning through the dark and back to blue

Losing you to find the truth

Current vertigo, rising tide

Drowning out the fear inside

Every wave that breaks me open wide

This is the current vertigo

Bridge

Maybe the drowning was just a door

Maybe the current remembers the shore

I'm not sinking, I'm being carried through

Every ending swims me back to new

The cold is breaking, the light comes through

Chorus

This is the current vertigo

Pulling me under, letting go

Spinning through the dark and back to blue

Losing you to find the truth

Current vertigo, rising tide

Drowning out the fear inside

Every wave that breaks me open wide

This is the current vertigo
