[Verse 1] Salt on the air, ink on my hands, I count the hours in shifting sands. A lantern turns like a patient eye, While the Storm rewrites the sky. They say, “Let go—some things dissolve,” But I was made to stay involved. [Pre-Chorus] If the fog takes names and leaves no trace, I’ll pin the truth to a time and place. [Chorus] (HOOK) Write you back, write you back, In the lighthouse glow. When the years slip off the track, I won’t let you go. Ink in rain, light in black— Fog can’t win, not so. [Verse 2] Three empty beds, a door ajar, A hymn of static from too far. I hear the sea like paper torn, I hear the “before” inside the “born.” So I carry proof in every breath— Not to worship, not for death. [Pre-Chorus] If the tide eats days like it’s nothing new, I’ll keep one line that leads to you. [Chorus] (repeat) Write you back, write you back, In the lighthouse glow. When the years slip off the track, I won’t let you go. Ink in rain, light in black— Fog can’t win, not so. [Bridge] (short, lifted) Turn, turn—lantern wheel, Show me what is real. If the world resets tonight, I’ll still be here—still holding light. [Final Chorus] (bigger) Write you back, write you back, In the lighthouse glow. When the years slip off the track, I won’t let you go. Ink in rain, light in black— Fog can’t win, not so. Write you back, write you back— That’s the oath I know.
