Under Salted Stars

Verse 1

You walk slow along the shoreline

The moon already knows your name

Bare feet sinking in the soft sand

Hurting anyone who won’t feel your flame

The wind plays with your hair tonight

Like it’s loved you all your life

I smoke silence and desire

While the ocean tells me lies

Verse 2

Your eyes are full of promises

You never really made

That smile tastes like sin and summer

Like nights that always fade

I’ve got nothing much to offer

Just a night that burns real slow

But some stars fall on purpose

Just to land in someone’s soul

Chorus

Let me watch you a little longer

Till the sky comes crashing down

Tonight the ocean’s speaking clearly

Saying you might be the one around

Come a little closer, say nothing

Let the dark and the blues decide

I don’t wanna save your life, baby

I wanna lose mine by your side

Verse 3

Distant lights from beachside bars

Look like ships with no control

You’re a warm and wicked mirage

In the middle of my soul

Every man here eats you alive

With his eyes and fantasy

But I want you slow and honest

Like a dawn that waits for me

Chorus

Let me watch you a little longer

While the waves count down the time

If love is just another lie

Then lie to me tonight, nice and kind

Sit beside this dying fire

Feel my name beat in your bones

I don’t promise you tomorrow

Just a night that feels like home

Bridge (spoken/sung)

I’m no hero, baby

Just a man under the stars

But some nights don’t ask for reasons

They just want to leave their scars

Verse 4

Your skin tastes like salt and sunlight

Like secrets never said

If you keep looking at me that way

We’re already guilty in bed

The ocean stops to hear us breathing

Your heartbeat against my chest

And I learn desire is a prayer

With no god left to confess

Final Chorus

Let me take you nice and easy

Like the night takes over day

If tomorrow we’re just strangers

Tonight we choose to stay

Under salted stars and fire

Where time don’t know your name

I don’t wanna conquer you, baby

I want you to choose the flame

Outro

Yeah…

The ocean will remember our names

Even if we forget them
