Verse 1 You don't have to call me every night, Just because somebody says that's right. You don't have to know where I have been, I don't need a map beneath your skin. Meet me where the water turns to blue, I'll bring nothing you can hold me to. Stay a little, swim beside my side, Then let the current choose another tide. Pre-Chorus Maybe love gets tired When you never let it breathe. Chorus Be my seahorse, Come and find me when you do. Dance around me in the water, I'll come dancing back to you. No little fences, No promises to force— You can have the whole damn ocean And still be my seahorse. Verse 2 Everybody wants a matching key, Half your closet, half your company. Breakfast Sunday, dinner Friday night, Love reduced to getting schedules right. Maybe I would rather miss your face, Let desire have a little space. Spend the afternoon with somewhere else, Come tomorrow wanting me yourself. Pre-Chorus Maybe hearts stay hungry When they're given room to roam. Chorus Be my seahorse, Disappear into the blue. Eat your fill and chase the daylight, I've got other things to do. Then when evening finds us Floating back on course, I'll be happy just to see you— Come here, my seahorse. Bridge And if you drift east, I'll wander west. You don't have to prove Which one loves best. No keeping score, No checking doors, No “where were you?” No “who was yours?” Just— Oh. There you are. Verse 3 Maybe that's the trick we never learn, Not every little absence means concern. Something can be precious without chains, Something can come home without a name. You can love the water you're within, I can love the places I have been. Then somewhere underneath a silver moon, We recognize each other and resume. Final Chorus Be my seahorse, Come and find me when you do. Dance around me in the water, I'll come dancing back to you. Keep your little freedom, I'll happily keep mine. We don't have to share the ocean Just to meet from time to time. Outro Go on, drift. I'll drift too. Oh. There you are.
