Verse
Tide pulls us out to the darkest blue
Fingers interlaced where the light can't find
Barefoot on deck, the water's slow pull
Your skin glowing warm in the lantern's hum
Salt on your collar, the engine cuts off
We ride quiet into the moonlight
Drinking champagne that foams and dies
Nothing left but this and you and I
Sailor's breath against my shoulder blade
A hundred miles to a distant shore
The current knows exactly where we're headed
And nothing in me wants it to slow
Pre-Chorus
Do you feel the undertow starting to lift us up
Can you hear that wave that keeps on calling, calling
Tell me again and again just how long we'll last
Tell me do you believe the tide will take care of this
Chorus
Slow on the current
Let it carry us out of here
Slow on the current
Nothing left to fear
Bodies rocking with every ripple
Sunlight breaking over the waves that swallow us whole
Just let the water lift your hands up high and keep them there
We're drifting wide and still in the undertow's gentle sway
Slow on the current
Let it carry us home
Slow on the current
Right where we belong
Verse
The harbor lights grow smaller every minute now
Frosted glass, no shadows on your face
Night air whispers something only the sea knows
And for one instant I believe that we can escape
Palm up and ready to let it take the wheel
A thousand stars are burning brighter than any light
Nothing in our past could ever be heavy enough to weigh us down tonight
Pre-Chorus
Do you feel the undertow starting to lift us up
Can you hear that wave that keeps on calling, calling
Tell me again and again just how long we'll last
Tell me do you believe the tide will take care of this
Chorus
Slow on the current
Let it carry us out of here
Slow on the current
Nothing left to fear
Bodies rocking with every ripple
Sunlight breaking over the waves that swallow us whole
Just let the water lift your hands up high and keep them there
We're drifting wide and still in the undertow's gentle sway
Slow on the current
Let it carry us home
Slow on the current
Right where we belong
Bridge
Hold the rail, I don't want you to fall
Every single drop is washing out this place
No name left, no yesterday
Just your collarbone and my fingers on the water's skin
We're leaving what we used to be behind us
And the undertow it just kept pulling until it pulled me back in with an anchor of skin
Chorus
Slow on the current
Let it carry us out of here
Slow on the current
Nothing left to fear
Bodies rocking with every ripple
Sunlight breaking over the waves that swallow us whole
Just let the water lift your hands up high and keep them there
We're drifting wide and still in the undertow's gentle sway
Slow on the current
Let it carry us home
Slow on the current
Right where we belong
Outro
Current lets go of the bow
We stay here, the tide does too
No names left but this skin I'm holding onto
