Salt and Script

[Intro]
[Verse]
Sunlight leaks through floorboards
Dusty gold and sea chords
Walking slow on old wood
I would stay if I could
Faded ink on scrap page
Frozen time in birdcage
[Pre-Chorus]
I see your shadow bend
Around the pier's end
Where fog meets the blue
I'm still looking for you
[Chorus]
Golden hour, drift away
Words you never got to say
Salt is stinging in my eyes
Underneath the velvet skies
Are you real?
How I feel
[Post-Chorus]
Whisper in the haze
Lost inside the maze
Floating on the tide
Nowhere left to hide
[Break]
[Verse]
Seagulls cry in distance
Soft and sweet persistence
Tucked behind a rusted nail
Paper thin and ghostly pale
Meet me where light breaks
My heart aches for your sakes
[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows dancing on the wall
I will answer when you call
Every dollar spent is a sign of grace
I just want to see your face
[Chorus]
Golden hour, drift away
Words you never got to say
Salt is stinging in my eyes
Underneath the velvet skies
Are you real?
How I feel
[Bridge]
Half-smile
Wait a while
Wood grain
Summer rain
I touch the pen marks
Before the dark sparks
Your name is a ghost
On the hollow coast
[Verse]
The tide is coming in
Where do I begin?
I find the final note
Inside a tattered coat
It says “I was always here”
The water’s cold and clear
I look up and see a blur
Of the person that you were
[Chorus]
Golden hour, drift away
Words you never got to say
Salt is stinging in my eyes
Underneath the velvet skies
Are you real?
How I feel
[Post-Chorus]
Whisper in the haze
Lost inside the maze
Floating on the tide
Nowhere left to hide
[Outro]
