Lyrics

Verse 1

Sun falls low across the grass

Bare feet sliding through the sand

Speaker thumping on the bank

You don't speak, you take my hand

Copper light upon your chest

Every shadow stretching long

Ground is cooling in the shade

Body listening to the song

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the drift now

Ripples at our knees

Bassline pulls us under

Moving with the breeze

Chorus

Step down into the water

Log drum rolling through the tide

Step down into the water

Leave the heavy heat behind

Cool current on our skin

Where the river meets the sound

Step down into the water

Feet let go of the ground

Verse 2

Water rising to our waist

Red dust washing from our toes

Drum beats shaking on the reeds

Where the deeper channel goes

Droplets shining on your neck

Swaying gently side to side

No more words between us now

Just the rolling of the tide

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the drift now

Ripples at our knees

Bassline pulls us under

Moving with the breeze

Chorus

Step down into the water

Log drum rolling through the tide

Step down into the water

Leave the heavy heat behind

Cool current on our skin

Where the river meets the sound

Step down into the water

Feet let go of the ground

Bridge

Weightless now, we float alone

Bass still rattling in the stones

Sky turns purple, stars awake

Every breath is one we take

Chorus

Step down into the water

Log drum rolling through the tide

Step down into the water

Leave the heavy heat behind

Cool current on our skin

Where the river meets the sound

Step down into the water

Feet let go of the ground
