Waves on the Coastline (versione 2)

Verse

Shoes in the sand, driftwood scattered by

Tide went out before I said goodbye

Left a note on the dashboard glass

Said don't look back, just catch the wave as it passes

Sun's gone down over the dunes tonight

Stars come up like diamonds after fight

Pre-Chorus

Something's breaking in my chest

Not the kind that settles quiet rest

More the kind that breaks apart to let the open air in

Nowhere left but start again

Something's breaking, letting go, and I'm free now

Chorus

Waves on the coastline, turning me into a man

Every low tide sweeps away what I used to plan

Salt and sand, the ocean knows my name

I won't be anchored in what I've known before the storm came

Here comes every wave, washing out the past

I am here now and nothing's going to last

Verse

Your hair caught wind where I couldn't catch you

Last time I saw you standing under the roof too

You said keep breathing when my heart turned to stone

Waved goodbye from the shore as it turned back home

Every shell that washed up on this beach tonight

Echoes what you whispered in a quiet fight

Pre-Chorus

Something's breaking in my chest

Not the kind that settles quiet rest

More the kind that breaks apart to let the open air in

Nowhere left but start again

Something's breaking, letting go, and I'm free now

Chorus

Waves on the coastline, turning me into a man

Every low tide sweeps away what I used to plan

Salt and sand, the ocean knows my name

I won't be anchored in what I've known before the storm came

Here comes every wave, washing out the past

I am here now and nothing's going to last

Bridge

Maybe the quiet after the storm will break into a light that heals

Or maybe it just turns into something darker still

Chorus

Waves on the coastline, turning me into a man

Every low tide sweeps away what I used to plan

Salt and sand, the ocean knows my name

I won't be anchored in what I've known before the storm came

Here comes every wave, washing out the past

I am here now and nothing's going to last
