The Salt Line (version 2)

Verse

Salt on my collarbone where the tide came in

Sirens fading out as the black turns thin

Every window I've watched from a stranger's shore

Now I'm the one who knows it's safe to sail some more

Wings made of water and light, I don't need a name

Just the current pulling me towards that flame

Lost my voice in the fire but I'm found again

Burning brighter than I ever knew was possible in this place

Pre-Chorus

So what do you say when every reason to stay

Is drowning out like the waves at daybreak gray?

Chorus

I'm crossing the salt line, watch me turn gold

Nothing but fire and a story untold

Every tower I climbed was just a door

Nowhere left that I'd rather be than this more

Verse

Dust on my boots from every floor I've stood on

Singing a language the ones who built it have gone

I used to think freedom was something you could buy

Now it's just this open sky and nothing but the sound of me alive

Rocks beneath the surface, pulling me down slow

Something in the undertow that I don't know yet though

Maybe breaking is how we learn to fly

Maybe falling through is the only way to get by

Pre-Chorus

So what do you say when every reason to stay

Is drowning out like the waves at daybreak gray?

Chorus

I'm crossing the salt line, watch me turn gold

Nothing but fire and a story untold

Every tower I climbed was just a door

Nowhere left that I'd rather be than this more

Bridge

No names to carry in the undertow

Just the shape of something that wants to grow

Let it break before you build again

Let the breaking be the only truth

The rising is the easy part now

I'm already learning how to fly in flight, somehow

Chorus

I'm crossing the salt line, watch me turn gold

Nothing but fire and a story untold

Every tower I climbed was just a door

Nowhere left that I'd rather be than this more
