Salt on our skin where the light won't reach

Verse

Sneakers kicked off on the tailgate lip

Sunburn still holding onto my lips

Radio's stuck between two stations

Your shadow stretched out across half of the kitchen table

Pre-Chorus

So what happens when you're not right here beside me?

Is it a goodbye or just another goodbye?

Can we hold this feeling like it's summer, always

Or is it gonna fade before we figure how to save it?

Chorus

Salt on our skin where the light won't reach

Every ending feels like it needs more than one day's worth of speech

I'm learning to let go but still I turn back around

Cause that's what falling out with someone always does — it makes you look up at the ground

Verse 2

Six months later and your Instagram picture says you're somewhere I've never been

Different kind of sunset, different version of us again

I scroll through old texts like they're artifacts from a war we won't fight

Same questions, same fears — just older now, but still the same amount of light

Pre-Chorus

So what happens when you're not right here beside me?

Is it a goodbye or just another goodbye?

Can we hold this feeling like it's summer, always

Or is it gonna fade before we figure how to save it?

Chorus

Salt on our skin where the light won't reach

Every ending feels like it needs more than one day's worth of speech

I'm learning to let go but still I turn back around

Cause that's what falling out with someone always does — it makes you look up at the ground

Bridge

Maybe this isn't closure — maybe it's just time

That we weren't ready when, but now we're ready for anything

I don't have all the answers, but I know what I saw

Was something beautiful that still feels like it could grow

Chorus

Salt on our skin where the light won't reach

Every ending feels like it needs more than one day's worth of speech

I'm learning to let go but still I turn back around

Cause that's what falling out with someone always does — it makes you look up at the ground
