Sunlight on the Water Taxi (version 2)

Verse

Saltwater wind and the engine thrumming

Bare feet dangling off the back of the taxi

Rooftop lights turning amber and humming

You said the sky is always bigger than my worry

No clock on the dashboard and no reason to hurry

Just your laughter catching on the tide like a bubble

Every island looks different when you're not leading

But I trust the compass, even if it's spinning free

Pre-Chorus

Maybe that's just how we learn to float

Learning the currents before we fall out

You said don't be afraid of losing your shore

Because the water is warm where love is looking for me

Chorus

I'm floating on the sunlight, I won't touch bottom tonight

No anchor holding my feet down tight

Every wave comes up to greet me now

Nothing's pulling me off this open route

Verse 2

Dinner at a shack with a view of the harbor

Sea salt and coconut in a bowl together

You told me stories I never heard before

About islands we'll visit when this one gets tired of me

I don't need to know exactly where I'm going yet

Just let the rhythm carry my whole body off

Every little wave is like a voice that's saying

Something's happening out here and you're not too scared to open

Pre-Chorus

Maybe that's just how we learn to float

Learning the currents before we fall out

You said don't be afraid of losing your shore

Because the water is warm where love is looking for me

Chorus

I'm floating on the sunlight, I won't touch bottom tonight

No anchor holding my feet down tight

Every wave comes up to greet me now

Nothing's pulling me off this open route

Bridge

Maybe you don't need a harbor too

Just someone standing by when the tide turns blue

You said falling into love is easy as drifting free

That's something I can finally learn from you
