Tide Line Heart [Guitar Solo Intro] (soft fingerpicked acoustic, gentle waves of 12-string shimmer, distant harmonica calling like the tide) [Intro] (soft call-and-response) You feel that pull… Yeah, I feel it too… [Harmony 1] Mmm… mmm… tide line heart [Verse 1] Standing where the foam meets the sand Sunset Beach, Oregon coast in my hands Waves keep coming, never ask why They just reach for the shore then kiss it goodbye [Pre-Chorus] Every high tide writes your name on the beach Every low tide leaves it just out of reach [Chorus] Tide line heart, you pull me under Then gently bring me back Tide line heart, constant thunder In the quiet of the slack I could fight the current, but I don’t want to I was born to love you like the ocean loves you [Harmony 2] Like the ocean loves you… [Verse 2] Salt on our skin, wind in your hair We walk the wet line without a care One step forward, one step back Love moves like that, no turning track [Pre-Chorus 2] You are the moon and I’m the willing sea Whatever you ask, I’ll always be [Chorus 2] Tide line heart, you pull me under Then gently bring me back Tide line heart, constant thunder In the quiet of the slack I could fight the current, but I don’t want to I was born to love you like the ocean loves you [Harmony 3] Like the ocean loves you… [Verse 3] (Spoken-word moment, soft over light guitar) Some people chase the perfect wave… Me? I just want to stand right here… Where the water meets forever with you [Guitar Solo] (warm, expressive, building with harmonica answers and stomp-clap rhythm underneath) [Pre-Chorus 3] Let the tide take what it needs to take I’ll still be here when it gives you back [Chorus 3] Tide line heart, you pull me under Then gently bring me back Tide line heart, my only wonder In the push and the pull of the black I could fight the current, but I don’t want to I was born to love you like the ocean loves you [Verse 4] Sun going down, painting the foam gold Your hand in mine, worth more than all the world We don’t need forever written in stone Just this rhythm… this tide… this home [Bridge] (soft call-and-response) When the tide pulls hard… I’ll hold you closer When the water runs dark… We’ll shine brighter This is our place… This is our grace [Outro] (Spoken-word, gentle) Standing at the edge where the foam meets the sand… Tide line heart… I’m right where I belong (Fading harmonies) Like the ocean… loves you… Sunset Beach… my tide line heart…
