Saltwater and Silver (version 2)

Verse

Salt on my skin where the tide came in

Seagulls wheeling slow over the bay

Coasters worn soft by a thousand hands

Old man playing chords he forgot to play

Pre-Chorus

So how do you hold onto a feeling this wide

Let it drift before you try to tie it down

Something's rising off the water tonight

I don't wanna lose it, I just wanna find where it lands

Chorus

We're chasing silver in the fading blue light

Saltwater on our skin and the stars come out tonight

Nothing left but the hum of the open sea

This is how we learn to breathe, wild and free

Verse 2

Neon fishing sign flickers over the dock

Kids laughing loud where the ice cream truck stopped

Someone's grandfather taught me how to tell the tide

Now I'm standing here with my feet in the middle of it all

Pre-Chorus

So how do you hold onto a feeling this wide

Let it drift before you try to tie it down

Something's rising off the water tonight

I don't wanna lose it, I just wanna find where it lands

Chorus

We're chasing silver in the fading blue light

Saltwater on our skin and the stars come out tonight

Nothing left but the hum of the open sea

This is how we learn to breathe, wild and free

Bridge

Maybe I don't need to keep it all tied up neat

Maybe the point was never to catch it at all

Just let it carry me where it wants to go

Because this feeling's mine just for tonight, and that's all I know

Chorus

We're chasing silver in the fading blue light

Saltwater on our skin and the stars come out tonight

Nothing left but the hum of the open sea

This is how we learn to breathe, wild and free
