[Verse 1]
You left a dent in the couch
And a spoon in the sink
Your jacket on my chair
Like you still might come back in
I moved the plants by the door
Still reached for your side
Funny how the quiet
Learns your shape overnight
[Pre-Chorus]
I laugh when I say your name
Then it stings again
I’m good at the ending
Bad at where it went
[Chorus]
Salt in April, I still taste it
Salt in April, I still chase it
You were sweet, then you slipped away
Now every blue sky looks half-made
Salt in April, I still taste it
Salt in April, I still chase it
I keep the ache in a pretty frame
Singing your ghost in the pouring rain
[Verse 2]
Found your note in a book
Three words and a heart
I folded it small
Like that could keep us from part
I bought new sheets, new plates
Changed the lock on the door
But your laugh comes back
When the floorboards call
[Pre-Chorus]
I tell my friends I’m fine
And they let it go
But the same old song
Hits me soft and low
[Chorus]
Salt in April, I still taste it
Salt in April, I still chase it
You were sweet, then you slipped away
Now every blue sky looks half-made
Salt in April, I still taste it
Salt in April, I still chase it
I keep the ache in a pretty frame
Singing your ghost in the pouring rain
[Bridge]
Maybe I don’t want cured
Maybe I want the scar
Something to prove
You were here in my heart
So I dance with the bruise
Let it shine, let it burn
Love was a lesson
I’m still learning to unlearn
[Chorus]
Salt in April, I still taste it
Salt in April, I still chase it
You were sweet, then you slipped away
Now every blue sky looks half-made
Salt in April, I still taste it
Salt in April, I still chase it
I keep the ache in a pretty frame
Singing your ghost in the pouring rain
[Outro]
Salt in April
Still on my tongue
Salt in April
Still on my tongue
