Calm Before Sunset

Verse

Sand between my toes and a bottle of sandstone water by the side of me

Salt on my skin where the ocean just kissed it. Watch the shore line turn into a fire that blazes bright red

Your shadow getting shorter behind me as the last light starts to set

Twelve pelicans riding the updraft over the waves we used to love yet

I'm not ready for the day to end and I'm not ready to leave

Every breath in this moment feels like something that's meant for me

Pre-Chorus

Tell me am I dreaming or is this real? Is this what the sun comes up here for?

Is it you, is it me, or just the sky letting us be free tonight?

Tell me if we can catch all of these colors in our eyes before they turn to gold

Chorus

Calm before sunset, calm before night

This is where I want to stay right here and hold on tight

Saltwater sunsets never let me down

Every single one that comes around brings me back to this place where love resides

Calm before sunset, nothing left to say

Just watch the light turn orange as it paints the sky with shades of gray

Verse

The breeze is whispering a secret in my ear that I won't share with anyone

A sailboat gliding across the water as if it's the only ship that made it through the storm

Your smile still burning bright on my retina long after you've gone home

I'm not ready for tomorrow, I want every second of this to stay and grow

Pre-Chorus

Tell me am I dreaming or is this real? Is this what the sun comes up here for?

Is it you, is it me, or just the sky letting us be free tonight?

Tell me if we can catch all of these colors in our eyes before they turn to gold

Chorus

Calm before sunset, calm before night

This is where I want to stay right here and hold on tight

Saltwater sunsets never let me down

Every single one that comes around brings me back to this place where love resides

Calm before sunset, nothing left to say

Just watch the light turn orange as it paints the sky with shades of gray

Bridge

Maybe we can catch all of these colors if we stay right here and watch them fade into gold

Let's chase every single sunset until we get them all in our hands and never let go again

Chorus

Calm before sunset, calm before night

This is where I want to stay right here and hold on tight

Saltwater sunsets never let me down

Every single one that comes around brings me back to this place where love resides

Calm before sunset, nothing left to say

Just watch the light turn orange as it paints the sky with shades of gray
