Saltwater Running Down My Arms (버전 2)

Verse

Screen door slapping open like it's giving me a sign

Coffee cup rattling on the dock line

You laughed so hard at something I said, salt in your hair

Pre-Chorus

I know I'm leaving before you're done with summer

But that laugh kept time with the ones we've come through yet

Chorus

Saltwater running down my arms like it knows me

Better than goodbye when the ache feels this sweet

Every wave that pulls out still carries your name

Saltwater running down my arms, I'm free at last

Verse 2

Old boat engine coughing up smoke and sea foam

Radio crackling out the whole summer's sound

You wrote it in sand on a beach towel

A letter I'll never throw, not even when the tide comes round

Pre-Chorus

I know I'm leaving before you're done with summer

But that laugh kept time with the ones we've come through yet

Chorus

Saltwater running down my arms like it knows me

Better than goodbye when the ache feels this sweet

Every wave that pulls out still carries your name

Saltwater running down my arms, I'm free at last

Bridge

Maybe the leaving's just the ocean calling home

Not a goodbye but an ending to begin alone

Your hand let go soft like it was never holding tight

I carry that letting-go into every light

Chorus

Saltwater running down my arms like it knows me

Better than goodbye when the ache feels this sweet

Every wave that pulls out still carries your name

Saltwater running down my arms, I'm free at last
