Verse
Sand between my toes and a bottle of sandstone water by the side of me
Salt on my skin where the ocean just kissed it. Watch the shore line turn into a fire that blazes bright red
Your shadow getting shorter behind me as the last light starts to set
Twelve pelicans riding the updraft over the waves we used to love yet
I'm not ready for the day to end and I'm not ready to leave
Every breath in this moment feels like something that's meant for me
Pre-Chorus
Tell me am I dreaming or is this real? Is this what the sun comes up here for?
Is it you, is it me, or just the sky letting us be free tonight?
Tell me if we can catch all of these colors in our eyes before they turn to gold
Chorus
Calm before sunset, calm before night
This is where I want to stay right here and hold on tight
Saltwater sunsets never let me down
Every single one that comes around brings me back to this place where love resides
Calm before sunset, nothing left to say
Just watch the light turn orange as it paints the sky with shades of gray
Verse
The breeze is whispering a secret in my ear that I won't share with anyone
A sailboat gliding across the water as if it's the only ship that made it through the storm
Your smile still burning bright on my retina long after you've gone home
I'm not ready for tomorrow, I want every second of this to stay and grow
Pre-Chorus
Tell me am I dreaming or is this real? Is this what the sun comes up here for?
Is it you, is it me, or just the sky letting us be free tonight?
Tell me if we can catch all of these colors in our eyes before they turn to gold
Chorus
Calm before sunset, calm before night
This is where I want to stay right here and hold on tight
Saltwater sunsets never let me down
Every single one that comes around brings me back to this place where love resides
Calm before sunset, nothing left to say
Just watch the light turn orange as it paints the sky with shades of gray
Bridge
Maybe we can catch all of these colors if we stay right here and watch them fade into gold
Let's chase every single sunset until we get them all in our hands and never let go again
Chorus
Calm before sunset, calm before night
This is where I want to stay right here and hold on tight
Saltwater sunsets never let me down
Every single one that comes around brings me back to this place where love resides
Calm before sunset, nothing left to say
Just watch the light turn orange as it paints the sky with shades of gray
