When the tide comes up (έκδοση 2)

Verse 1

Pebbles shift beneath the waves' soft hum

Salt and damp on every pore I've got

Your palm is open in my own

Buoys creak like a lighthouse calling home

Water's warm against the skin we share

We wade into it like the darkness doesn't care

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel that pull, that slow descent?

Something lifting where your shoulder meets

Chorus

When the tide comes up and washes us clean

I want to keep you here until it starts to gleam

We're not sinking down into some dark place

We're floating on this water, face to face

So let it rise and turn us round

Every ripple carries something we don't know yet found

When the tide comes up and holds us still

Verse 2

Foam collects in hollows worn from all the years

Your voice is low where the undertow brings tears

I keep my eyes on yours beneath the blue-gray haze

This water knows a secret, one it won't betray

Gulls wheel overhead as if they're waiting too

The sea floor gives and then it pulls us through

You take a breath like you can hear something in the sound

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel that pull, that slow descent?

Something lifting where your shoulder meets

Chorus

When the tide comes up and washes us clean

I want to keep you here until it starts to gleam

We're not sinking down into some dark place

We're floating on this water, face to face

So let it rise and turn us round

Every ripple carries something we don't know yet found

When the tide comes up and holds us still

Bridge

No need for a horizon when every drop is gold

Just you in the current that I've never owned

The whole ocean's been waiting with its waves in line

I am not lost here, I'm right on your spine

Let it carry what we don't want to hold

Trade every fear for something wild and bold

Nothing deeper than this water's voice below

I will follow till the tide lets go

Chorus

When the tide comes up and washes us clean

I want to keep you here until it starts to gleam

We're not sinking down into some dark place

We're floating on this water, face to face

So let it rise and turn us round

Every ripple carries something we don't know yet found

When the tide comes up and holds us still
