[Verse]
Sand clung to my feet like an old memory
Sky stretched wide like it was trying to hold me
Waves rolling in whispering their old song
[Prechorus]
Salt on my lips tasted like truth
A sting I couldn’t refuse
[Chorus]
First breath of the tide hit my chest
Pulled me down pulled me west
Ocean spoke a language I couldn’t hide
First breath of the tide
[Verse 2]
Wind tore through my hair like a preacher's cry
Seagulls laughed loud as the world passed by
I stood there caught between fear and the blue
[Chorus]
First breath of the tide hit my chest
Pulled me down pulled me west
Ocean spoke a language I couldn’t hide
First breath of the tide
[Bridge]
Was it a baptism or just a tease
A moment of peace or a plea
Waves kept coming didn’t care for me
