Salt and Ink

[Intro]
[Verse]
Midnight mist on the pier
Walking through the shadows here
Boardwalk wet with the rain
Washing out the old stain
Paper edges turning white
In the flickering street light
[Pre-Chorus]
Still holding on to the ghost
The one that I loved the most
Faded ink against my skin
Where do I even begin?
[Chorus]
Take me back to the heat
Dancing on the sandy street
Breathy whispers in the blue
Everything was always you
Floating on the liquid bass
Searching for your vanished face
[Post-Chorus]
Lost in the tide
Nowhere to hide
Lost in the tide
By your side
[Break]
[Verse]
Ferris wheel stands so still
Frozen on the coastal hill
Empty booths and silent rides
Chasing all the turning tides
Summer air was sweet and thick
Memory is a magic trick
[Pre-Chorus]
Still holding on to the ghost
The one that I loved the most
Faded ink against my skin
Where do I even begin?
[Chorus]
Take me back to the heat
Dancing on the sandy street
Breathy whispers in the blue
Everything was always you
Floating on the liquid bass
Searching for your vanished face
[Bridge]
One ticket left in my palm
Waiting for the coming calm
Stars are hiding in the gray
Wish the night would stay this way
Don't let the rhythm stop
Wait for the final drop
[Verse]
I remember the arcade
Where the neon colors fade
You were laughing by the sea
Looking right back at me
Now the salt is in my eyes
Underneath the heavy skies
[Chorus]
Take me back to the heat
Dancing on the sandy street
Breathy whispers in the blue
Everything was always you
Floating on the liquid bass
Searching for your vanished face
[Post-Chorus]
Lost in the tide
Nowhere to hide
Lost in the tide
By your side
[Outro]
