(Verse) 1
The tide rolls in to claim the shore
Taking pieces of the year before
I stand where the cold foam meets my feet
And let the rhythm and the quiet meet
My thoughts are heavy, the wind is chill
But the water moves when the world is still
I breathe you in, the salt and sky
And let the current wash the questions by.
(Chorus)
Ocean, mend me, layer by layer
Take every shadow, answer every prayer
Pull the heavy stones out from my chest
Carry them away where the deep seas rest
Quiet the noise, smooth out the stone
Show me how to heal when I am alone.
(Verse) 2
I watch a shell sink in the sand
Leaving imprints of a fragile hand
It finds a place where it can belong
Buried safely while the waves stay strong
Maybe fading is a way to start
Clearing space inside a tired heart
The blue runs deep, the horizon breaks
Fixing every line that a long night makes.
(Chorus)
Ocean, mend me, layer by layer
Take every shadow, answer every prayer
Pull the heavy stones out from my chest
Carry them away where the deep seas rest
Quiet the noise, smooth out the stone
Show me how to heal when I am alone.
(Outro)
Just a steady pulse under the gray
Washing the dust of yesterday away
Calm in the dark, soft in the light
You hold the shore tonight.
Mend me tonight.
