Undertow

Verse

Salt air drying on the sleeve of your coat

Suitcase waiting by the tideline note

Your hand still warm from the cup we shared

Steam going soft in the morning air

Boats untying from the wooden dock

Gulls keep circling the harbor clock

Pre-Chorus

So how do I hold this and let it go

Half of my heart in the undertow

Tell me the leaving can still be kind

Tell me the tide always comes back in time

Chorus

Pull me under, let me miss you slow

Sweet like the sting of the undertow

I'll cry a little, then I'll let it show

There's light on the water where the current goes

Pull me under, watch the shoreline grow smaller and gold

Some goodbyes are just love learning how to hold

Verse

Footprints filling with the rising foam

Your voice still humming like a song for home

Postcard weather, one long amber hour

Nothing lasts but nothing turns to sour

I keep the shell you left there in the sand

Small enough to fit inside my hand

Pre-Chorus

So how do I hold this and let it go

Half of my heart in the undertow

Tell me the leaving can still be kind

Tell me the tide always comes back in time

Chorus

Pull me under, let me miss you slow

Sweet like the sting of the undertow

I'll cry a little, then I'll let it show

There's light on the water where the current goes

Pull me under, watch the shoreline grow smaller and gold

Some goodbyes are just love learning how to hold

Bridge

Maybe the current was never cruel

Maybe it's carrying me back to you

Every wave that pulls away

Rolls back in a softer way

Chorus

Pull me under, let me miss you slow

Sweet like the sting of the undertow

I'll cry a little, then I'll let it show

There's light on the water where the current goes

Pull me under, watch the shoreline grow smaller and gold

Some goodbyes are just love learning how to hold
