Mainstage Tide (versione 2)

Verse

Last chord ringing off the back wall

Roadies coiling cable in the dark

Salt still stinging where the spotlight fell

Every goodbye leaves its mark

Four AM and the engine's turning over

So long to the room that made us closer

Sound and heartbeat rolled into one roar

Won't be standing on this floor no more

Pre-Chorus

So how do we leave what we love

And still keep it burning in our chest

Can a wave that pulls away

Come home better than the rest

Chorus

We are the mainstage tide, the mainstage tide

Pulling back but we don't say goodbye

Every ebb comes roaring back alive

Riding high on the mainstage tide

Verse

Six months gone and the lights look different

City skyline stitched in gold and gray

Same old ache but it's turned to rhythm

Feet find the mark like they know the way

Old ticket stub still folds in my pocket

Proof that the leaving was worth the rocket

We built a fire out of what we lost

Counting every mile like it's worth the cost

Pre-Chorus

So how do we leave what we love

And carry the fire in our chest

We learned the wave that pulls away

Comes home to give its best

Chorus

We are the mainstage tide, the mainstage tide

Pulling back but we don't say goodbye

Every ebb comes roaring back alive

Riding high on the mainstage tide

Bridge

Maybe the goodbye was just the pullback

Building up a wave we couldn't see

Every dark stage holds a bigger comeback

Rising up in you and rising up in me

Hands up high, let the current take us

Nothing's really gone, it's just retreating

Feel it swell beneath the quiet

This is the tide before the meeting

Chorus

We are the mainstage tide, the mainstage tide

Pulling back but we don't say goodbye

Every ebb comes roaring back alive

Riding high on the mainstage tide
