Inside the Echo — The Currents

Verse

Salt on my shoulders, your name in the sand

Tide's already pulling the print of your hand

Boardwalk lights flicker like they know what's coming

Engine's warm, radio's low, my heart's still running

You said it's easier this way, both eyes open

Packed up the summer while the words stayed unspoken

Pre-Chorus

So what do we do with the gold in the sky

When the best of the season's about to say goodbye

Do I hold on tighter or learn how to fly

Chorus

I'm gone but I'm golden, I'm loud and I'm leaving

Inside the echo I'm still believing

Every wave that pulls back finds the shore again

So watch me walk out like I already win

Inside the echo, that's where I begin

Verse

Rearview mirror, the pier turns to light

Your jacket still smells like the end of the night

I'm driving through static, the coastline goes quiet

But somewhere ahead there's a sun I can't fight

Every mile I'm shedding the version who stayed

Turning goodbye into gasoline, paved

Pre-Chorus

So what do we do when the good ones move on

Do we chase what we lost or the light coming on

I'm choosing the fire I built to burn strong

Chorus

I'm gone but I'm golden, I'm loud and I'm leaving

Inside the echo I'm still believing

Every wave that pulls back finds the shore again

So watch me walk out like I already win

Inside the echo, that's where I begin

Bridge

Maybe leaving's just a door swung wide

Maybe endings learn to ride

The same wind that scattered every "why"

Straight into a brand new sky

Chorus

I'm gone but I'm golden, I'm loud and I'm leaving

Inside the echo I'm still believing

Every wave that pulls back finds the shore again

So watch me walk out like I already win

Inside the echo, that's where I begin

Inside the echo, I begin
