Every Wave I Catch (wersja 2)

Verse

Old town sign still flickers on the dock

Same red water tower that I used to rock

Fourteen summers where the pier stayed lit

Every light beam cutting through my skin

Salt on my collarbone, engine warm

Sixth of July and the whole block came born

Never asked for a map, never asked for cash

We just followed the hum from the old bandstand dash

Pre-Chorus

Something in this water keeps pulling me back

Something I thought I'd left, but it's not gone, it's just locked

Every mile that I've crossed since then still rings

Like there's something waiting to say hello again

Chorus

So every wave I catch, I'm coming back for more

This old water holds what the road can't keep anymore

Every current running deep through these streets is mine

I don't need a name or a reason why — just this time

Verse 2

Twenty years gone and the sign still reads home

Same old diner where the winter wind blows cold

Papers filed, cities called, but nothing stayed the same

Something about that harbor still carries my name

Cousin's kid now fishing off the dock at dawn

Telling stories I never had to own

I've got a house full of windows that don't feel like home

But every summer that returns me here feels like more than just a throwaway life I'm living alone

Pre-Chorus

Something in this water keeps pulling me back

Something I thought I'd left, but it's not gone, it's just locked

Every mile that I've crossed since then still rings

Like there's something waiting to say hello again

Chorus

So every wave I catch, I'm coming back for more

This old water holds what the road can't keep anymore

Every current running deep through these streets is mine

I don't need a name or a reason why — just this time

Bridge

Maybe the leaving was never meant to be forever

Just a test to see how far you'd go before surrendering

Every mile I walked from here taught me something true

That coming back home's not the destination — it's the current pulling through

Chorus

So every wave I catch, I'm coming back for more

This old water holds what the road can't keep anymore

Every current running deep through these streets is mine

I don't need a name or a reason why — just this time
