[Verse 1]
Shoes in my hand
Sand sneaking between my toes
Wind in my teeth
Laughing at how little I know
That first cold rush
Up my ankles
Then my knees
Heart beating fast
Like it’s racing all the seabirds on the breeze
[Chorus]
First time tasting the tide
Salt on my lips
Eyes open wide
I breathe it in
Let it pull
Let it rise
I never knew I was this small
Till the water answered my call
First time
First time tasting the tide
[Verse 2]
Sky hanging low
Edges blurred where blue meets blue
Gulls draw their loops
Like they’re writing something new
I lick my wrist
It’s flavored with spray and sun
Tongue finds the salt
And it stings me just enough to come undone
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Every wave a question
Every wave replies
Hands at my sides
I lean into the white
Footprints fading behind me
Before I turn my head
Teaching me gently
How to move on
How to forget
[Chorus]
