Shores and Hours (वर्ज़न 2)

Intro

Can you hear it too?

Verse

Seagulls over the pier, water on the sand

Your hand finds mine in the fading light of day

We're counting hours until we have to leave this place

Where every sunset looks like a last goodbye

Pre-Chorus

Is it just the tide or something more?

Do you feel it too, or is that just me talking now?

The shore is empty but I don't want to let go

Of whatever just happened here tonight

Chorus

This is how we say goodbye

(bittersweet)

Shores and hours, slipping away

Like grains of sand through our fingers in the gray

Every wave crashes, pulling us apart

I'm holding on to this, the start

Verse

Fishing nets hung up high like a canvas sail

Your shadow stretches long where the pier splits the shore

We keep talking till we lose track of time

Until the sky turns pink and we have to go home again

Pre-Chorus

Is it just the tide or something more?

Do you feel it too, or is that just me talking now?

The shore is empty but I don't want to let go

Of whatever just happened here tonight

Chorus

This is how we say goodbye

(bittersweet)

Shores and hours, slipping away

Like grains of sand through our fingers in the gray

Every wave crashes, pulling us apart

I'm holding on to this, the start

Bridge

Don't make me go just yet

Just give me five more minutes here with you

(sung low)

Maybe that's all we ever have

To hold onto what's slipping free

(breathily)

Let it take us back out into blue

One more time, before I let this go...

Chorus

This is how we say goodbye

(bittersweet)

Shores and hours, slipping away

Like grains of sand through our fingers in the gray

Every wave crashes, pulling us apart

I'm holding on to this, the start
