[VERSE 1] I went in with my clothes on, didn't even take my shoes. You were halfway through a sentence when I turned and ran from you. The first wave caught me laughing, the second took my breath. I heard you shouting something, but the sea swallowed the rest. [PRE-CHORUS] And I was spinning, spinning, with my arms above my head. A hundred things worth saying, and not one of them was said. [CHORUS] I didn't know I could be this happy. I didn't know I'd make that sound. I didn't know how much of me was waiting to come out. And there you were, somewhere on the sand, watching me become the woman that I am. [VERSE 2] My hair was stuck across my face, my dress was twice its weight. I tried to walk back gracefully. The next wave put paid to that. You stood there with your camera, laughing harder than before. I told you where to put it, then went running back for more. [PRE-CHORUS] And I was spinning, spinning, with the sunlight on my face. I couldn't tell you why, but I didn't want to leave that place. [CHORUS] I didn't know I could be this happy. I didn't know I'd make that sound. I didn't know how much of me was waiting to come out. And there you were, somewhere on the sand, watching me become the woman that I am. [BRIDGE] There's a photograph somewhere. My eyes are nearly closed. My mouth is open wide. My hair's a bloody disaster. There's seawater in my eyes. And if you'd asked me yesterday what happiness would look like, I'd have described a hundred things. Not one of them was right. Because I'm not even looking at the man who took the picture. I don't have to. I know he's there. [FINAL CHORUS] I didn't know I could be this happy. I didn't know I'd make that sound. I didn't know how much of me was waiting to come out. And there you were, somewhere on the sand, loving every bit of the woman that I am. [OUTRO] We walked home with our shoes in our hands, leaving little pools across the floor. You put the kettle on. I asked to see the photograph. You said, "I've never seen you look like that before." I looked at her for quite a while. Then I said, "Neither have I."
