Tides of You

The sun moves slow across your quiet face

You smile like you’ve been holding back the breeze

I lean a little closer just to hear

The softness in the way you speak to me

A gentle laugh, a tiny breath that falls before the line comes through

And suddenly the shoreline feels like it was made for me and you

Let the waves carry what we knew

Let the blue pull us into something new

If the wind is singing softly, I’ll let my heart sway too

Let the waves carry what we knew

’Cause every tide comes back to you

Your hands are tracing circles on the sand

Like memories you don’t know how to keep

You tell me that you’re tired of drifting far

I tell you that you’re safe right here with me

The seagulls cry, and in the space between the notes you let truth slip

You look at me and whisper, “I forgot love ever felt like this”

Let the waves carry what we knew

Let the blue pull us into something new

If the wind is singing softly, I’ll let my heart sway too

Let the waves carry what we knew

’Cause every tide comes back to you

A warm breeze lifts your hair across your lips

I laugh and brush it back behind your ear

You blush and say you’re not used to this

But something in your voice keeps pulling near

And when you breathe my name—barely louder than the rolling sea

I swear the ocean hushes just to hear what you meant to me

Let the waves carry what we knew

Let the blue pull us into something new

If the wind is singing softly, I’ll let my heart sway too

Let the waves carry what we knew

’Cause every tide comes back to you

So stay awhile, don’t turn away

Let this shoreline teach our hearts the way

To drift, return, and rise renewed

Like every tide that finds its truth in you
