[Verse 1]
First breath
Tastes like rust and rain
Shoes in my hand
Sand cuts like sugar on my veins
Wind in my teeth
Hair stuck across my face
I walk straight in
Like this water knows my name
[Chorus]
Salt on my tongue
Like a dare
Like a prayer I almost sung
Waves hit my chest
Knock out the noise in my head
All the rest
If I go under
Will I come back young?
First time at the edge
And it feels like love
Feels like love
Salt on my tongue
[Verse 2]
Black jeans
Soaked to the seams
They cling
Phone on the shore
Buzzing with all the usual things
Foam on my wrists
Cold like a truth I missed
I taste the ache
Of every moment I did not live
[Chorus]
Salt on my tongue
Like a dare
Like a prayer I almost sung
Waves hit my chest
Knock out the noise in my head
All the rest
If I go under
Will I come back young?
First time at the edge
And it feels like love
Feels like love
Salt on my tongue
[Bridge]
I used to think the world
Ended where the map ran out
But this water pulls me forward
Like it’s draining all my doubt
I’m laughing
I’m crying (hey!)
I’m small and I’m still enough
To let it hurt
To let it heal
To let it crush
[Chorus]
Salt on my tongue
Like a dare
Like a prayer I finally sung
Waves hit my chest
Wash all the ghosts from my breath
All the rest
If I go under
Let me come back young
First time at the edge
And it feels like love
Feels like love
Salt on my tongue
