The ocean laps gentle against the shore,
Talkin’ in a tongue that’s older than my worn-out soul.
Shadows crawl out where the light once lay,
Wind-swept whispers sayin’ things I’m scared to say.
[Verse 2]
Light drifts across the water where the world gives in,
Where time and tide and all my colors start to thin.
I stand right here where waves kiss the dying light,
Bare feet buried like I’m holdin’ on for dear life tonight.
[Chorus]
And oh, the days keep fallin’ hard as hell into the sea,
And I keep prayin’ the moon’ll rise and still believe in me.
Yeah, the tide steals every sunset like it’s got some sacred right—
I’m just tryin’ not to lose myself
On the edge of this dark night.
[Verse 3]
Cotton-candy clouds turn cold and gray,
Moon climbs lonely after another long damn day.
First stars flicker in those quiet, haunted skies,
A reminder that something’s gotta fall for something else to rise.
[Chorus]
And oh, the days keep fallin’ hard as hell into the sea,
And I keep prayin’ the moon’ll rise and still believe in me.
Yeah, the tide steals every sunset like it’s got some sacred right—
I’m just tryin’ not to lose myself
On the edge of this dark night.
[Bridge]
Maybe every loss is just a promise time forgot,
Maybe heartbreak’s just the tax we pay for any love we got.
And if the world keeps turnin’ even when it’s treatin’ me unkind—
Maybe hope’s the last soft echo of a star I left behind.
[Final Chorus]
And oh, the days keep fallin’ hard as hell into the sea,
But the moon keeps risin’ stubborn like it still remembers me.
Yeah, the tide steals every sunset, but I’m still standin’ in the fight—
Tryin’ to find a little mercy
On the edge of dark night.
