Riptide Love (Version 2)

Verse

Café window, seven a.m.

You said goodbye and didn't look back then

Coffee's cold but I'm still warm

Watching you walk out of my life like it's nothing at all

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why it feels so easy

To let go when everything is real

Chorus

Riptide love, pulling me away

Heartbeat splitting down the center of the day

Gold light shaking on your collarbone

Goodbye shining louder than I've ever known

Verse

Dusty street beneath my sneakers now

Same bus stop where our hands used to touch somehow

Your smile's in my mirror like a ghost

Every corner's got the way you moved, and it still hurts just as much

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why it feels so easy

To let go when everything is real

Chorus

Riptide love, pulling me away

Heartbeat splitting down the center of the day

Gold light shaking on your collarbone

Goodbye shining louder than I've ever known

Bridge

Maybe love's just a wave that swallows you whole

Nothing left but salt and letting go

Not missing you so much as missing who we were

Summer skin turning into something new

Chorus

Riptide love, pulling me away

Heartbeat splitting down the center of the day

Gold light shaking on your collarbone

Goodbye shining louder than I've ever known
