lyrics
you said the waves are part of me
the way they part the seas
pumping vessels
to the heart of the inlet
if love was just some current
I've felt it pull me in
but I've also felt it
let me out again
again
but I'm the salt and you're the sea
dissolving into everything
cut from stone to coat
what makes me clean
and i've felt you underneath
rising up to meet me
will we break before we ever
truly see
that are we just part of everything?
you said, then time will show the way
the cracking in his hands
tells the future
when they're held up to his face
and somehow either way
there's a space that holds a distance
so close
but still so far away
away
but I'm the salt and you're the sea
dissolving into everything
cut from stone to coat
what makes me clean
and I felt you underneath
rising up to meet me
will we break before we ever
truly see
that are we just part of everything
but I'm the salt and you're the sea
dissolving into everything
cut from stone to coat
what makes me clean
and I felt you underneath
rising up to claim me
like some treasure long forgotten
in the deep
but are we just part of everything
the way they part the seas
pumping vessels
to the heart of the inlet
if love was just some current
I've felt it pull me in
but I've also felt it
let me out again
again
but I'm the salt and you're the sea
dissolving into everything
cut from stone to coat
what makes me clean
and i've felt you underneath
rising up to meet me
will we break before we ever
truly see
that are we just part of everything?
you said, then time will show the way
the cracking in his hands
tells the future
when they're held up to his face
and somehow either way
there's a space that holds a distance
so close
but still so far away
away
but I'm the salt and you're the sea
dissolving into everything
cut from stone to coat
what makes me clean
and I felt you underneath
rising up to meet me
will we break before we ever
truly see
that are we just part of everything
but I'm the salt and you're the sea
dissolving into everything
cut from stone to coat
what makes me clean
and I felt you underneath
rising up to claim me
like some treasure long forgotten
in the deep
but are we just part of everything

Romance 126
