[Verse 1] I found you in the surf Blue glass, sand in the seam Her note was folded small Like a secret in a dream “Meet me where the pier bends” One date, one faded name I held that paper careful Like it could start a flame [Pre-Chorus] All summer, I came back Same beach, same tide line All summer, I came back Same beach, same tide line Palm of your handwriting Burned into my mind [Chorus] Driftwood heart, driftwood heart I kept your words afloat (kept your words afloat) Driftwood heart, driftwood heart Tell me where you go I followed every shoreline Every map, every sign Driftwood heart, driftwood heart I was yours by July [Verse 2] I asked the bait shop owner He said, “She used to paint” A porch with salt on the railing And lemons in a crate I rode my bike to Seaview Past dunes and rusted chains Found her name on a mailbox Half hidden in the rain [Pre-Chorus] She opened that screen door Bare feet, paint on her hands She opened that screen door Bare feet, paint on her hands She smiled like she knew me Before I had a plan [Chorus] Driftwood heart, driftwood heart I kept your words afloat (kept your words afloat) Driftwood heart, driftwood heart Tell me where you go I followed every shoreline Every map, every sign Driftwood heart, driftwood heart I was yours by July [Bridge] She said, “I threw it out When the world got too loud” “But I wrote it for someone Who still looks down” I laughed, she laughed Then the whole beach seemed to glow Two lost things, washed up In the same tide flow [Final Chorus] Driftwood heart, driftwood heart I kept your words afloat (kept your words afloat) Driftwood heart, driftwood heart And now you know I followed every shoreline Till your door came in sight Driftwood heart, driftwood heart We were found by July [Outro] Blue glass, sand in the seam Your note still in my coat Driftwood heart, driftwood heart I kept your words afloat (kept your words afloat) I kept your words afloat (kept your words afloat)
