Before the Water Learned My Name

[Intro] I remember the light on the water Before it learned my name ⸻ [Verse 1] There was a place I was certain Time would never touch A quiet made of distance That felt like enough But everything is moving Even what I believed And the harder I held on The more it left me ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] So I follow what is fading Like it knows the way ⸻ [Chorus – half-time drop] Take me back to the tide Where I first began Where the silence was wide And I could understand If I’m only a moment Then let me dissolve Into something older Than I was at all ⸻ [Breakdown] Nothing here is ending It only changes form Every loss I carry Was here before I was born ⸻ [Drop 2 – full-time DnB] Take me back to the tide Let it pull me through Through the weight of becoming Into something true I can feel it breaking In the air I breathe Every version of me Returning to the sea ⸻ [Bridge] I was never separate From the wind or stone Only learning how to forget What I’ve always known ⸻ [Final Chorus] Take me back to the tide Where I first began Where the silence was wide And I could understand If I’m only a moment Then let me dissolve Into something older Than I was at all ⸻
