Salt-Kissed Silence

[Intro]
[Verse]
Left the keys on the desk
Left the city’s grotesque
Drove past the neon signs
Traced the highway lines
Now the pines turn to salt
Everything comes to a halt
[Pre-Chorus]
The dashboard clock is stuck
I’m running out of luck
But the ocean starts to show
Where did the years all go?
[Chorus]
Back to the weathered pier
The salt is finally clear
No more chasing silver screens
Or those empty hollow dreams
Just the gold in the west
And a heart at rest
[Post-Chorus]
Let the tide come in
Where my life can begin
Let the tide come in
Where my life can begin
[Verse]
Elara waits by the gate
She says I’m never late
Her father’s light still glows
Where the cold water flows
We share a chipped blue mug
Give a long-awaited hug
[Pre-Chorus]
Sea glass around her neck
Safe from the city wreck
Now the ocean starts to show
Where did the years all go?
[Chorus]
Back to the weathered pier
The salt is finally clear
No more chasing silver screens
Or those empty hollow dreams
Just the gold in the west
And a heart at rest
[Bridge]
I was a ghost in the glass
Watching the seasons pass
But the pier planks hold my weight
I’ve finally found my state
The fiddle cries a sweet tune
Underneath a rising moon
[Verse]
She told me I look the same
Despite the fancy name
I traded the velvet suit
For a bitter, honest fruit
Now the ukulele strums
As the evening slowly comes
[Chorus]
Back to the weathered pier
The salt is finally clear
No more chasing silver screens
Or those empty hollow dreams
Just the gold in the west
And a heart at rest
[Post-Chorus]
Let the tide come in
Where my life can begin
Let the tide come in
Where my life can begin
[Outro]
