Slow on the Current (έκδοση 2)

Verse

Tide pulls us out to the darkest blue

Fingers interlaced where the light can't find

Barefoot on deck, the water's slow pull

Your skin glowing warm in the lantern's hum

Salt on your collar, the engine cuts off

We ride quiet into the moonlight

Drinking champagne that foams and dies

Nothing left but this and you and I

Sailor's breath against my shoulder blade

A hundred miles to a distant shore

The current knows exactly where we're headed

And nothing in me wants it to slow

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel the undertow starting to lift us up

Can you hear that wave that keeps on calling, calling

Tell me again and again just how long we'll last

Tell me do you believe the tide will take care of this

Chorus

Slow on the current

Let it carry us out of here

Slow on the current

Nothing left to fear

Bodies rocking with every ripple

Sunlight breaking over the waves that swallow us whole

Just let the water lift your hands up high and keep them there

We're drifting wide and still in the undertow's gentle sway

Slow on the current

Let it carry us home

Slow on the current

Right where we belong

Verse

The harbor lights grow smaller every minute now

Frosted glass, no shadows on your face

Night air whispers something only the sea knows

And for one instant I believe that we can escape

Palm up and ready to let it take the wheel

A thousand stars are burning brighter than any light

Nothing in our past could ever be heavy enough to weigh us down tonight

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel the undertow starting to lift us up

Can you hear that wave that keeps on calling, calling

Tell me again and again just how long we'll last

Tell me do you believe the tide will take care of this

Chorus

Slow on the current

Let it carry us out of here

Slow on the current

Nothing left to fear

Bodies rocking with every ripple

Sunlight breaking over the waves that swallow us whole

Just let the water lift your hands up high and keep them there

We're drifting wide and still in the undertow's gentle sway

Slow on the current

Let it carry us home

Slow on the current

Right where we belong

Bridge

Hold the rail, I don't want you to fall

Every single drop is washing out this place

No name left, no yesterday

Just your collarbone and my fingers on the water's skin

We're leaving what we used to be behind us

And the undertow it just kept pulling until it pulled me back in with an anchor of skin

Chorus

Slow on the current

Let it carry us out of here

Slow on the current

Nothing left to fear

Bodies rocking with every ripple

Sunlight breaking over the waves that swallow us whole

Just let the water lift your hands up high and keep them there

We're drifting wide and still in the undertow's gentle sway

Slow on the current

Let it carry us home

Slow on the current

Right where we belong

Outro

Current lets go of the bow

We stay here, the tide does too

No names left but this skin I'm holding onto
