[Verse 1] Golden hours on the edge of town, We laughed too loud, we swore too proud. The air was thick with firelight and lies, Hiding truth behind summer skies. [Pre-Chorus] Every glance was a warning sign, But we blurred the lines in the heat of the summer. [Chorus] These are the things we bury deep, Under the waves, where no one can see. We built a world that’s not quite real, And sealed it shut with the way we feel. [Verse 2] Your hand shook when you passed the note, Said don’t tell a soul, or the whole thing’s broke. We carved our names in the boathouse wall, Promised forever, no truth at all. [Pre-Chorus] Every shadow knows our names, Every summer night feels the same. [Chorus ] These are the things we bury deep, Under the waves, where no one can see. We built a world that’s not quite real, And sealed it shut with the way we feel. [Bridge (soft, almost whispered)] If the water ever speaks, Will it call for you, or will it call for me? We’re the keepers of the night, But the moon sees everything. [Final Chorus (layered harmonies, more cinematic)] These are the things we bury deep, Under the waves, where no one can see. We built a world that’s not quite real, And sealed it shut with the way we feel…
