[Verse 1]
Salt in the air
Tiny shoes in your hand
You laugh as she chases the foam
My dress hitched high
Your fingers find mine
Her giggles skipping like stones
[Pre-Chorus]
You swing her up
She squeals so loud
Sun going down in orange and gold
I walk beside
And suddenly
The future doesn’t feel so far or old
[Chorus]
We walk hand-in-hand in the sand
With little feet behind us
Every waveline writing our names
Like the world’s here to remind us
This is all I ever wanted
Right here in this quiet hush
You, me, and little feet behind us
Little feet behind us (oh)
[Verse 2]
Shell in her palm
She calls it a star
Holds it up proud to the sky
You kiss my cheek
I mouth, “How did we
Get this lucky in one life?”
[Pre-Chorus]
She leaves a trail
Of stumbling prints
You steady her when she looks back
I see your smile
On her small face
And something in my chest goes slack
[Chorus]
We walk hand-in-hand in the sand
With little feet behind us
Every waveline writing our names
Like the world’s here to remind us
This is all I ever wanted
Right here in this quiet hush
You, me, and little feet behind us
Little feet behind us (yeah)
[Bridge]
One day these tiny steps
Will outrun the tide
She’ll chase her own horizon
But tonight
[soft vocal stack]
Tonight she’s ours
[Chorus]
We walk hand-in-hand in the sand
With little feet behind us
Every waveline writing our names
Like the world’s here to remind us
This is all I ever wanted
Hold this moment, don’t let it rush
You, me, and little feet behind us
Little feet behind us (oh)
Little feet behind us
