Tides Have Changed

You were my first love, the one I’ll never shake

Now you're in Richmond, CA

I’m down south where you used to call home

But it don’t feel the same since you’ve been gone

Your hazel eyes still haunt me in my sleep

They lit a fire that I still keep

Time and miles, they came between

But you still show up in everything

Even though the tides have changed

And we're living in different states

I feel you like the summer rain

Falling down, I can't escape

Our memories, they flood my mind

Like waves that crash but don’t rewind

I love you now more than I ever did

Even with the space we’re living in

I see your shadow in the golden light

The way you'd laugh still echoes in the night

We had a world we built so young

Now I’m holding on to what we’ve become

Your hazel eyes, they mesmerized

They drew the truth I tried to hide

No matter how the seasons turn

You're the lesson I still learn

Even though the tides have changed

And we're living in different states

I feel you like the summer rain

Falling down, I can't escape

Our memories, they flood my mind

Like waves that crash but don’t rewind

I love you now more than I ever did

Even with the space we’re living in

Maybe love like this don't fade

Distance can't erase the flame

I carry you in every song

No matter where you’ve gone

Even though the tides have changed

You're still the heart that keeps me brave

I feel you like the ocean breeze

In every quiet memory

Our stories still replay in time

You’re the reason, you're the rhyme

I love you now more than I ever did

And I always will—yeah, I always will
