Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I stepped off the road
And met the shore
Sand in my shoes
Like I’d never before
The water moved slow
Then it pulled at me
Blue on my ankles
Wide as a dream
[Pre-Chorus]
I closed my eyes
Let it take my name
Salt on my lips
Nothing felt the same
[Chorus]
First salt breath
First salt breath
I felt the waves
And I let them in
First salt breath
First salt breath
The ocean knew me
Before I knew it
[Verse 2]
A line of foam
Ran up to my knees
Sun on my neck
And the palm tree breeze
I tasted the air
Like a memory I missed
My heart went soft
With every drift
[Pre-Chorus]
I closed my eyes
Let it take my name
Salt on my lips
Nothing felt the same
[Chorus]
First salt breath
First salt breath
I felt the waves
And I let them in
First salt breath
First salt breath
The ocean knew me
Before I knew it
[Bridge]
I came with a map
Left with a pull
Hands in the water
Spirit full
No words, just blue
No fear, just glow
One first hello
And I let it show
[Chorus]
First salt breath
First salt breath
I felt the waves
And I let them in
First salt breath
First salt breath
The ocean knew me
Before I knew it

Style
Hawaiian reggae-house with a laid-back skank over four-on-the-floor pulse, soft offbeat guitar, warm sub, and tropical percussion in a mid-tempo groove. Verse stays intimate with sparse bass and rim clicks; pre-chorus opens with rising chords and hand drums; chorus lifts with stacked harmonies and a driving kick. Breathy lead, doubled hook, delay throws on key words, ocean swells and reversed chimes between sections. Bright, sun-washed, and spacious., reggae, hawaiian
