Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Bare feet in the sand
By the edge of the tide
Your name on my hand
Then the waves came by
We came, we laughed
We kept it light
One more look back
Then goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
So let the shoreline keep
What we can’t hold tight
We came with open hands
And left in the moonlight
[Chorus]
Leave nothing behind
But footprints
Take nothing away
But memories
Leave nothing behind
But footprints
Take nothing away
But memories
[Verse 2]
A cracked motel key
And a map folded small
Red clay on your shoes
By the old brick wall
We shared the road
We shared the rain
No need to own
What can’t stay the same
[Pre-Chorus]
So let the shoreline keep
What we can’t hold tight
We came with open hands
And left in the moonlight
[Chorus]
Leave nothing behind
But footprints
Take nothing away
But memories
Leave nothing behind
But footprints
Take nothing away
But memories
[Bridge]
If it fades, it fades
That’s part of the deal
Some things only live
When they’re gone for real
[Final Chorus]
Leave nothing behind
But footprints
Take nothing away
But memories
Leave nothing behind
But footprints
Take nothing away
But memories

Style
Acoustic pop with steady mid-tempo strum, handclaps on the backbeat, light kick and shaker; verse stays close and sparse, pre-chorus lifts with layered harmonies and a rising tambourine, chorus opens wide with gang vocal doubles on the anchor phrase. Add reversed swells into the chorus, a soft whistle countermelody in the second verse, and a final lift with stacked oohs. Mix is warm, intimate, and bright-punched.
