Saltwater Skin (النسخة 2)

Verse

Seaweed on the rocks, it sways with tide

The horizon holds the morning's pride

I stand here wet from shoulders down

The salt is slow to dry and cling

Fingers tracing where the foam has been

The line between land ends here unseen

Breathe in shallow as the waves come near

Let the weight of water settle here

Pre-Chorus

Can I let go the shape of my skin

Can I trust what drifts within

Chorus

Saltwater on my collarbone tonight

I let it move, I hold its light

No more edges when it's wet and wide

Letting in the darkness that resides

Verse

Shells on sand like hollows in the mind

Each one worn by waters left behind

I pick them up with palms turned out

The smoothness keeps my fingers quiet now

Fading light along the distant shore

Nothing waits but what I'm holding for

No clock to wind or thread to fix

Only water's gentle, steady kiss

Pre-Chorus

Can I let go the shape of my skin

Can I trust what drifts within

Chorus

Saltwater on my collarbone tonight

I let it move, I hold its light

No more edges when it's wet and wide

Letting in the darkness that resides

Bridge

No names for what this feels like now

Only the hum of water turning round

Each tide comes soft as yesterday's grief

And slowly, slowly, it starts to heal itself

Chorus

Saltwater on my collarbone tonight

I let it move, I hold its light

No more edges when it's wet and wide

Letting in the darkness that resides
