Salt & Echoes

歌詞

The tide pulls back but leaves its mark White on my skin, your fragile heart I walk alone where we once stayed Every step still knows your name I breathe you out, I breathe you in Like endings never really end Salt and echoes, call my chest What I lost, what never left Salt & echoes stay with me Like the sea won’t let me be You’re not here, but you remain In the silence after rain I let go, or so it seems But love moves slow inside my dreams Salt & echoes, soft and low Still the way I miss you flows The sky turns gold, then fades to blue Just like the truth I knew of you No goodbye, no final sound Just your voice still hanging round I close my eyes, I drift away But memory decides to stay Salt and echoes, in the tide Every word I never cried Salt & echoes pull me back To the place we almost had Time goes on, but something knows Hearts don’t heal, they just grow slow You’re the ache I learned to keep A name my heartbeat still repeats Salt & echoes, deep inside Where I hide what never died The night is calm, the ocean still But my heart moves against my will Your shadow dances on the sand Like you’re reaching for my hand I tell myself you’re finally gone But tell it like a half-known song Salt and echoes, through the dark Every beat returns its mark Salt & echoes, say my name Like fire without a flame You were brief, but you were real More than time can ever steal If this love is just a trace I’ll wear it slow upon my face Salt & echoes, won’t erase The way you stay, the way you stay The world moves on, the sea remains Unchanged beneath a thousand rains I walk that line where we once stood Still hoping that I understood I tried to leave, I tried to start But walked in circles with my heart Salt and echoes, fade in sound But never leave the ground Salt & echoes, I release Not to forget, but live in peace You’re not mine, but not a lie Just a truth that passed me by I’ll sing your name into the blue And let the waves decide for you Salt & echoes, sweet and slow Still the last thing I let go
