[Intro] [Verse 1] The dusk hung soft on the waterline You said my name like it was not mine I kicked at driftwood just to feel it break Counting every ripple like an old mistake [Pre-Chorus 1] Your voice came out like a worn-out plea Sharp as the things you never say to me And the dark leaned hard on us Like it knew what walking off would cost [Chorus] But the sky pulled open wide Every jagged mark of light Cut across that bruise-blue dome Saying we ain’t out of sight And that pale old circle up there Looked like it heard our crooked prayer Call it low tide mercy here When the way ahead ain’t clear [Interlude] [Verse 2] I traced your outline in the cold, packed sand Boot prints faded while you watched my hands We talked ‘bout leaving like we always do Way too tired to say what’s true [Pre-Chorus 2] The whole damn world felt heavy as the sea You caught that weight when it dropped on me And the night leaned in again Like it bet we’d break before we’d bend [Chorus 2] So the sky pulled open wide Every jagged mark of light Cut across that bruise-blue dome Daring us to call this home And that pale old circle up there Looked like it heard our crooked prayer Call it low tide mercy here When the way ahead ain’t clear [Interlude] [Bridge] Every night we slammed those doors Said a prayer we didn’t trust we'd hear anymore Maybe all this busted, scattered shine Is the mess we made of yours and mine Every curse and each unsteady hymn Is still the only way to not give in [Long Instrumental Break] [Final Chorus] So let that torn-up ceiling glow Let it show what we can’t show Through every fear we choke inside We’re still standing side by side And that pale wheel hanging thin Feels like something dragging us in Call it low tide mercy still Holding us against our will [Long Instrumental Outro] [Fade Out to End]
