Skin like water

Verse

Sun up on the water, ripples spread like glass

Your shadow stretches long behind you where it was

You drop your towel to the beach

Walk the tide line till your feet are wet

The whole sky's still blue above us, no one's yet

Every grain of sand feels cold between my toes

We chase the foam line up the shore, no reason why we go

Pre-Chorus

Is this how summer ends?

Or is it just beginning to come through

Do I hold on tight or let it slip away too

Chorus

I love you slow like this when skin turns warm and gold

In the last light before your shadow leaves the sand below

You don't know what tomorrow looks like, but tonight feels right

So keep your eyes on mine until the stars come up in flight

We're dancing where the waves are cooling down

Every footstep makes a memory I'm holding to this ground

No clocks ticking here and no alarm clock's ring

Just you and me under this fading sky that won't come back again

Verse

Salt in your hair, sweat on your collarbone

You pull my waist up close where the foam just went down

A whole summer packed into these last few hours we share

And I don't want it to go quiet yet when night gets there

We run along that shoreline till the world is almost dark

Every step is one more memory locked inside this spark

You bend and pick a shell, I bend too close beside

Right here between us something starts to glide

Pre-Chorus

Is this how summer ends?

Or is it just beginning to come through

Do I hold on tight or let it slip away too

Chorus

I love you slow like this when skin turns warm and gold

In the last light before your shadow leaves the sand below

You don't know what tomorrow looks like, but tonight feels right

So keep your eyes on mine until the stars come up in flight

We're dancing where the waves are cooling down

Every footstep makes a memory I'm holding to this ground

No clocks ticking here and no alarm clock's ring

Just you and me under this fading sky that won't come back again

Bridge

Hold still for one second. Watch how sun turns orange

I think this might be the best goodbye we've ever known

Not because it ends, but 'cause it feels so real

Every drop of water in your hair is gold today I feel

Chorus

I love you slow like this when skin turns warm and gold

In the last light before your shadow leaves the sand below

You don't know what tomorrow looks like, but tonight feels right

So keep your eyes on mine until the stars come up in flight

We're dancing where the waves are cooling down

Every footstep makes a memory I'm holding to this ground

No clocks ticking here and no alarm clock's ring

Just you and me under this fading sky that won't come back again
