Tide Never Lies

Verse

Six months now since that slow September night

You said my name while the whole room turned white

Four more years and you're still the only one

I let go just enough to have some fun

Barefoot on a wooden dock at four

Your palm open against mine, I don't need more

A gentle touch can quiet every doubt

Like a warm tide knows how much it's about

Pre-Chorus

So tell me why this feels like forever

Tell me why my heart keeps giving the weather

I'm not chasing, I just want you to stay

One second more before the morning slays

Chorus

Tide never lies when it finds the ground

It comes soft and then it shakes us whole around

So don't ask me if I know what this means

The water already knows how this feels

Verse 2

Now we're seventeen with a summer to steal

Sneaking out past midnight, the whole street asleep

Your laugh cuts through all the noise in my head

Every second of you is worth losing instead

I drew your name on a coffee-stained page

Told myself I wouldn't show it no matter the stage

But now you're standing here and I don't need to hide

This feeling's not a secret, it's an open sky

Pre-Chorus

So tell me why this feels like forever

Tell me why my heart keeps giving the weather

I'm not chasing, I just want you to stay

One second more before the morning slays

Chorus

Tide never lies when it finds the ground

It comes soft and then it shakes us whole around

So don't ask me if I know what this means

The water already knows how this feels

Bridge

Maybe we're young, maybe we're not ready yet

Maybe every river starts with something wet

But for one hour tonight let's just forget

Every rule, every reason that makes sense

Chorus

Tide never lies when it finds the ground

It comes soft and then it shakes us whole around

So don't ask me if I know what this means

The water already knows how this feels
