[HOOK — immediate, female + crowd] Salt on your skin! Fire in your chest! Drift with me, baby, forget the rest! Hey—hey! Move with the tide! Hey—hey! Come alive! Salt on your skin, tonight we don’t hide! [DROP] Drift-drift-drift with me! Move-move-move with me! Soft in the moonlight, hot underneath! Drift-drift-drift with me! One-two-three! Salt on your skin— come dance with me! [VERSE 1] Close your eyes, but don’t fall asleep. Feel that rhythm running underneath. One slow breath, then the bass comes in, sand on your feet, summer on your skin. No meditation, no counting to ten, tonight the ocean starts again. Your shoulders loosen, your heartbeat knows— where the warm wind goes, the body follows. [PRE-CHORUS] Five-four-three-two-one— let it go! Heartbeat talking, let it show. Don’t hold tight, don’t ask why, let the tide take us tonight! [CHORUS] Salt on your skin! Fire in your chest! Drift with me, baby, forget the rest! Move to the left, move to the right, moon in the water, heat in the night! Salt on your skin! Light in your eyes! You came here quiet— now come alive! Hey—hey! Move with the tide! Hey—hey! Come alive! [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK — sax + percussion] Oh-oh-oh… Drift with me… Ya-la-la… Come with me… Sax says: don’t go home yet. [VERSE 2] Thoughts fly by like birds on the sea, let them go, they don’t need you or me. No need to chase, no need to explain, tonight even trouble can dance in the rain. Barefoot heartbeat, warm midnight air, one little smile and suddenly we’re there. No destination, no perfect plan, just salt, just rhythm, just skin, just sand. [PRE-CHORUS] Five-four-three-two-one— here we go! Let that heartbeat run the show. Hands up high, eyes on mine, let the tide rewrite the night! [CHORUS] Salt on your skin! Fire in your chest! Drift with me, baby, forget the rest! Move to the left, move to the right, moon in the water, heat in the night! Salt on your skin! Light in your eyes! You came here quiet— now come alive! Hey—hey! Move with the tide! Hey—hey! Come alive! [BRIDGE — male/female call & response] FEMALE: Nothing to hold! MALE: Let it go! FEMALE: Nothing to prove! MALE: Let it flow! FEMALE: Name in the wind! MALE: Feet in the sand! BOTH: One little heartbeat, one little band! FEMALE: Drift with me! MALE: Closer! FEMALE: Dance with me! MALE: Closer! BOTH: Salt on your skin— and the night ain’t over! [FINAL DROP / CHORUS] Drift-drift-drift with me! Move-move-move with me! Salt on your skin, wild and free! Drift-drift-drift with me! One-two-three! The sea took the silence— the rhythm took me! Salt on your skin! Fire in your chest! Drift with me, baby, forget the rest! Hey—hey! Move with the tide! Hey—hey! Come alive! Salt on your skin! Salt on your skin! No more sleeping— let the night begin! [OUTRO — sax answers vocal] Drift with me… drift with me… Soft and slow? Maybe before. Tonight— we dance.
