Low Tide, High Heart

[Verse 1]
You left your sandals by my door
Still full of sand from last July
Salt on your skin
That crooked smile
I taste it every time I lie
Say I’m fine
Say I’ve healed
But I’m just standing on the pier
Counting every wave that rolls
Like every time I pulled you near
[Chorus]
My love’s an ocean that won’t run dry
Every wave
Every tide still pulls to you
From the shallow shore to the darkest blue
Every beach that breaks
Every storm we knew
I still cast my heart like a line to you
There’s a sea of love I can’t sail through
I’m a ship that’s always turning back to you
[Verse 2]
We drew a heart into the foam
Watched the tide erase our names
You said nothing ever stays
But I stayed tangled in your wake
You were sunrise on the water
Throwing gold on everything
Now I’m drifting past the markers
But your voice is in the wind
[Chorus]
My love’s an ocean that won’t run dry
Every wave
Every tide still pulls to you
From the shallow shore to the darkest blue
Every beach that breaks
Every storm we knew
I still cast my heart like a line to you
There’s a sea of love I can’t sail through
I’m a ship that’s always turning back to you
[Bridge]
If the moon can move the sea
It can’t move this out of me
Every harbor light I chase
Glows your name across my face
All these nets I set to heal
Come back empty
Come back real
Every current
Every chart
Draws a coastline round my heart (oh)
[Chorus]
My love’s an ocean that won’t run dry
Every wave
Every tide still pulls to you
From the shallow shore to the darkest blue
Every beach that breaks
Every storm we knew
I still cast my heart like a line to you
There’s a sea of love I can’t sail through
I’m a ship that’s always turning back to you
Yeah I’m a ship that’s always turning back to you

Warm indie-pop ballad with male vocals; fingerpicked acoustic guitar and soft brushed drums, mellow bass underneath. First verse intimate and close-mic’d, light piano doubling key phrases; chorus blooms with airy harmonies and tambourine shimmer. Subtle organ pad in the bridge for lift, then strip back to guitar and voice on final hook for a tender landing.
