Our Coastline Faded

[Verse 1]
We danced in Greece
Salt on our skin
Cheap wine and secrets
You leaning in
Maps in the glovebox
Sand in your hair
Blue on the water
Like it’d always be there
[Chorus]
How did our coastline fade away?
Tide pulled out
I never saw it change
From laughter
Love
And golden days
To silent rooms and tear‑stained nights
Tell me
When did we lose the light?
How did our coastline fade away?
[Verse 2]
Late night drives
Your hand in mine
Windows down
Singing
Way out of time
Now it’s your sweater
On the back of a chair
Coffee gone cold
And your ghost in the air
[Chorus]
How did our coastline fade away?
Tide pulled out
I never saw it change
From laughter
Love
And golden days
To silent rooms and tear‑stained nights
Tell me
When did we lose the light?
How did our coastline fade away?
[Bridge]
Was it one sharp word
Or a thousand small storms?
Did we drift too far
Thinking currents were warm?
[Chorus]
How did our coastline fade away?
Tide pulled out
I never saw it change
From laughter
Love
And golden days
To silent rooms and tear‑stained nights
Tell me
When did we lose the light?
How did our coastline fade away?

Moody indie-pop ballad with intimate male vocals over warm electric piano and subtle fingerpicked guitar. Verses stay hushed with brushed drums and soft bass; chorus swells with airy pads, distant vocal doubles, and a wide, reverb-kissed snare. Bridge strips back to near a cappella, then final chorus blooms with higher harmony and a gentle tambourine lift.
