[Verse 1] Before them, the world cracked open, quiet A shore with no water just pale, patient sand Smooth as a secret untouched, unmoved All that empty distance right under their hand [Chorus] Desert beach where the waves forgot your name Salt in the air but the sea, it never came I can feel what isn’t here like a ghost that never leaves Desert beach you’re the riddle I believe [Verse 2] Every step they took left a lone, sharp line Footprints in a place that never heard a tide Still, the wind tasted like something brined Like the ocean just slipped around the other side [Chorus] Desert beach where the waves forgot your name Salt in the air but the sea, it never came I can feel what isn’t here like a ghost that never leaves Desert beach you’re the riddle I believe [Bridge] Was it stolen in the night? (oh) Did it choose to walk away? All this silence humming with a storm that never breaks [Chorus] Desert beach where the waves forgot your name Salt in the air but the sea, it never came I can feel what isn’t here every breath, a missing sea Desert beach keep your mystery in me
