Sunburnt and Sure

Verse

Screen door slaps like a snare on the count of four

Your flip-flops left by the porch, not needed anymore

Duffel bag zipper stuck on a beach towel thread

Last bottle of sunscreen rolling under the bed

Pre-Chorus

So this is the part where the engine turns

Where the map runs out and the highway learns

What do you call it when leaving feels like light

Chorus

Sunburnt and sure, walking out the door

Salt on my skin, I don't need you anymore

Waving goodbye with my chin up high

Sunburnt and sure under a wide-open sky

Verse

Boardwalk lights flicker off behind my back

Postcard I never sent still sits in the glovebox stack

Radio's playing static where our station used to be

I'm turning up the silence, calling it a melody

Pre-Chorus

So this is the part where the engine turns

Where the map runs out and the highway learns

What do you call it when leaving feels like light

Chorus

Sunburnt and sure, walking out the door

Salt on my skin, I don't need you anymore

Waving goodbye with my chin up high

Sunburnt and sure under a wide-open sky

Bridge

Funny how a burn can heal into a glow

Funny how the tide just knows when to let go

I kept one shell, threw the rest back in the blue

Turns out I was leaving me before I left you

Chorus

Sunburnt and sure, walking out the door

Salt on my skin, I don't need you anymore

Waving goodbye with my chin up high

Sunburnt and sure under a wide-open sky

Sunburnt and sure, brighter than before
