Waves That Stay

Verse

Salt on my lips from the ocean floor

Your jacket still smells like a summer storm

I'm folding up your sweater by the fire

Pre-Chorus

So what do I keep when everything floats away?

Chorus

Waves that stay inside me, waves that stay inside me

Even after the tide goes quiet and grey

Hands keep holding on to the light of you

Verse 2

Your voice still echoes in this old wooden chair

Same four chords we practiced till the lights went up

I'm learning how to let it out in my own key now

Pre-Chorus

So what do I keep when everything floats away?

Chorus

Waves that stay inside me, waves that stay inside me

Even after the tide goes quiet and grey

Hands keep holding on to the light of you

Bridge

Maybe forever doesn't mean the water never leaves

Just means it still moves through my chest like an ocean's breath

Chorus

Waves that stay inside me, waves that stay inside me

Even after the tide goes quiet and grey

Hands keep holding on to the light of you
