Skin to Salt (Version 2)

Verse

Salt on your collarbone where the waves used to be

Six a.m., beach chairs stacked by the wall

Barefoot print fading in the sand before I fall

You laugh at me like I'm chasing sun again

Every summer's the same, every year we're gone

Still you catch my hand and pull me back like it's home

Pre-Chorus

So tell me what keeps you here when September comes around

Is it just a feeling or is there something more found

I keep coming back to this one old sound

Chorus

Skin to salt, salt to sky

Every summer I'm still alive

Same old beach but different year

Same gold light but you're always here

So let the tide pull us out to sea

Let the whole world just drift away with me

Verse

Ice cream truck bell ringing through the open screen

Your sister's swimsuit stuck to your ankle again

Fireworks gone dark hours past midnight's cry

Now it's just the two of us watching stars go by

I built a sandcastle, watched it wash away like a dream

You said I'm a king for one more day at least

Pre-Chorus

So tell me what keeps you here when September comes around

Is it just a feeling or is there something more found

I keep coming back to this one old sound

Chorus

Skin to salt, salt to sky

Every summer I'm still alive

Same old beach but different year

Same gold light but you're always here

So let the tide pull us out to sea

Let the whole world just drift away with me

Bridge

Maybe every ending's a door not closed

Just one more wave before we go back home

I don't need forever, just this hour now

You feel it too so don't pretend it's not somehow

Chorus

Skin to salt, salt to sky

Every summer I'm still alive

Same old beach but different year

Same gold light but you're always here

So let the tide pull us out to sea

Let the whole world just drift away with me
