Sandslides (Version 2)

Verse

Sandslides running up the back of my ankle bone

Salt stuck to my collar where I was trying not to roam

Tent poles rattling overhead like a storm in the sky

We were chasing the setting on that last beach day

Racing every shadow till it turned into shade

I stole a slice from your pocket when the wind came through

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how long we got before the whole coast turns cold

Can you hear that same drum beat pounding in my chest?

Chorus

Sandslides down to the sea, one last run for me

Hold this moment like it's made of gold

Nothing's promised but nothing can slow us down

Sandslides down to the wave tonight, let the wild spin around

Tide line pulling every single memory clean

Verse

Copper sand cooling between my toes as we walked

You said maybe we're just a flash in the long grass, okay

The Ferris wheel tower stood quiet behind us and dark

We ran until our hearts turned ice from the wind up high

Caught your hand like it was a current I couldn't deny

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how long we got before the whole coast turns cold

Can you hear that same drum beat pounding in my chest?

Chorus

Sandslides down to the sea, one last run for me

Hold this moment like it's made of gold

Nothing's promised but nothing can slow us down

Sandslides down to the wave tonight, let the wild spin around

Tide line pulling every single memory clean

Bridge

Let the sand get in my teeth and the sunburn on my neck

Every star that hits the water is a fire we've been given back

I won't ask for tomorrow if I don't know your name

Just watch this horizon turn gold from where it used to be

Chorus

Sandslides down to the sea, one last run for me

Hold this moment like it's made of gold

Nothing's promised but nothing can slow us down

Sandslides down to the wave tonight, let the wild spin around

Tide line pulling every single memory clean

Outro

I'll carry these lights with me until they fade

I'll ride this undertow back to where we started
