Verse
Ferry whistle cuts through the haze
Pulls you out to a darker phase
Salt in the mouth where we've been standing still
You run your hand through my hair till the current starts to chill
Every sunset that's always coming too soon
We're watching it bleed orange, gold into blue moon
Pre-Chorus
Hold on tight as the sky goes red
Chorus
Sunset on the waterline
Watch the colors bleeding out of time
Sunset on the waterline
I don't wanna leave this light behind
Verse 2
Deckhand tosses a rope into the air
We catch it together, neither one says we care
Your eyes are burning through every wave
I'm following where you run, the whole town asleep by eight
Sundial casts its shadow on your face
I'd chase that shadow to the other side of time and space
Pre-Chorus
Hold on tight as the sky goes red
Chorus
Sunset on the waterline
Watch the colors bleeding out of time
Sunset on the waterline
I don't wanna leave this light behind
Bridge
Maybe we can make it last a little longer
But I think I'd rather hold onto you and nothing
Chorus
Sunset on the waterline
Watch the colors bleeding out of time
Sunset on the waterline
I don't wanna leave this light behind
