[Verse 1]
Morning broke on Bondi
Salt still on the air
Coffee cups on corners
Kids laughing everywhere
Then the sirens cut the sunlight
Phones all in our hands
News rolling like a storm front
Over towels
Over plans
[Chorus]
Fifteen names in the sand
Waves reach out
Then pull back again
We were just holding hands
Now flowers line the railings
Candles flicker in the wind
Fifteen names in the sand
And the ocean takes them in
[Verse 2]
Someone dropped their sandals
Still waiting by the stairs
Half a song left on a speaker
Drifting out to strangers’ chairs
We looked for one good reason
For a hate that deep and blind
But the answers feel like ashes
On a shoreline out of time
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
So we write them on our wrists
On the walls
In quiet ink
In the stories that we pass down
In the pauses when we think
We will not let this moment
Be a headline that just fades
We will carry how they loved here
Not the way they were betrayed
[Chorus]
