Undertow

Verse

Salt on my shoulders, June on your skin

Radio static where the pier lights begin

You kicked off your sandals, ran where the sand turned to foam

Seventeen summers and nowhere to call home but this

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it pulling

Soft beneath the blue

Something sweet and cruel

Dragging me toward you

Chorus

It's the undertow, undertow

Pulling gold from the sky, letting go

Of the version of me that was scared of the deep

Take me under, but let me keep

This

The undertow, undertow

Verse

Lanterns on the boardwalk, cheap wine in a cup

You wrote your name in the wet sand and the tide swallowed it up

We laughed like it wouldn't matter, like summer wouldn't end

Now every August feels like losing a friend to the sea

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it pulling

Soft beneath the blue

Something sweet and cruel

Dragging me toward you

Chorus

It's the undertow, undertow

Pulling gold from the sky, letting go

Of the version of me that was scared of the deep

Take me under, but let me keep

This

The undertow, undertow

Bridge

Maybe growing up is just

Learning how to drown in trust

Watching seasons turn to rust

And loving them anyway

Chorus

It's the undertow, undertow

Pulling gold from the sky, letting go

Of the version of me that was scared of the deep

Take me under, but let me keep

This

The undertow, undertow
