Verse 1 Like seashells on the shoreline Lying empty in the sand I walked among a thousand Trying to understand The tide had carried stories The waves had carried dreams Funny how the prettiest ones Are not what they seem Pre-Chorus I held you to my ear Waiting for the sea Chorus Like seashells on the shore You looked perfect in my hand I always thought you were right Like treasure in the sand But the jagged edge cut me And I started to believe I couldn't hear the ocean Or the tender breeze of your love on me Verse 2 The morning sun was rising The water kissed the coast I kept searching for forever But found the ghost of hope Every shell's a memory Every wave a goodbye kiss Some things lose their music Long before they're missed Chorus Like seashells on the shore You looked perfect in my hand I always thought you were right Like treasure in the sand But the jagged edge cut me And I finally could see I couldn't hear the ocean That was supposed to sing to me Bridge Now the tide is pulling northward And the wind is turning free Maybe love was never broken Maybe it was only me Maybe somewhere on the shoreline There's another melody Final Chorus Like seashells on the shore Lying empty in the sand I walk beyond your shadow Looking for another chance The waves still whisper softly As they roll across the sea And I hear the ocean clearer now Than I ever did through you
