Across the Tide (versie 2)

Verse

Heels drag soft on the last of the floor

Ribs still ringing from the sound before

Collarbone catching the first pale beam

Body forgets it was ever asleep

Palms turn upward, dust in the lines

Breath comes slower, falling in time

Shoulders loosen where the night was tight

Warm replacing the edge of the light

Pre-Chorus

Lift your chin, let it in

Feel the hour open your skin

Nothing left but the pull, the glow

Let the body lead, let it go

Chorus

Skin against sunrise

Where the tired turns to gold

Skin against sunrise

Heat before the cold

Skin against sunrise

Everything let loose

Skin against sunrise

Nothing left to prove

Verse

Throat tipped back, the horizon spills

Legs still moving on borrowed will

Fingers open where the fists were tight

Every muscle drinking in the light

Ankles humming from the hours gone

Chest keeps rising with the dawn

Nothing hides now, nothing to save

Body already crossing the wave

Pre-Chorus

Lift your chin, let it in

Feel the hour open your skin

Nothing left but the pull, the glow

Let the body lead, let it go

Chorus

Skin against sunrise

Where the tired turns to gold

Skin against sunrise

Heat before the cold

Skin against sunrise

Everything let loose

Skin against sunrise

Nothing left to prove

Bridge

Not the mind that carries you home

It's the marrow, it's the bone

Not the hour, not the name

Just the heat where the shadow came

Chorus

Skin against sunrise

Where the tired turns to gold

Skin against sunrise

Heat before the cold

Skin against sunrise

Everything let loose

Skin against sunrise

Nothing left to prove
