[Intro] Salt on my tongue, no shore in sight The water keeps folding the same black line [Verse 1] I left the harbor with your name in my coat A paper map turning soft as I float The compass spins where the cold currents meet My hands are still, but the whole world leans A gull cuts once through the weather above Then even that sound gets swallowed up I count the breaths that the dark gives back One for the surface, two for the black [Chorus] I’m lost in the ocean, drifting below Heavy as iron, weightless as snow If you can hear me, don’t call me home I’m learning the language the deep has known Lost in the ocean, out of the blue Every slow current carries me through [Verse 2] The cabin light died a long time ago I watch little bubbles climb nowhere slow Your last note’s folded against my chest Ink running thin where the saltwater rests The waves above me turn glass into sky I see a pale morning pass me by I reach for the rope, but it slips through my hand Like every promise we made on the land [Chorus] I’m lost in the ocean, drifting below Heavy as iron, weightless as snow If you can hear me, don’t call me home I’m learning the language the deep has known Lost in the ocean, out of the blue Every slow current carries me through [Bridge] No map, no marker, no final shore Just the hush of the deep and the pull below I let your name loosen, syllable by syllable The sea keeps what I could not hold [Final Chorus] I’m lost in the ocean, drifting below Heavy as iron, weightless as snow If you can hear me, let the tide roll on I’m not where I started, but I’m not gone Lost in the ocean, out of the blue Every slow current carries me through [Outro] Salt on my tongue No shore in sight The water folds And folds the night
