[Verse 1] I saw you at the shore Barefoot, holding all your noise Same waves, different eyes Same sand, different choice My hands were full of glass Your hands were full of salt We kept naming the same sky And still we found the fault [Pre-Chorus] One step, then another Till the shoreline starts to bend What I call a distance You call a way to mend [Chorus] Lenses on the sand Lenses on the sand We see it how we can We see it how we can Layer on a little more Layer on a little more What was hidden before Comes rushing to the shore (Lenses on the sand) [Verse 2] The tide wore down our words Made the sharp edges thin You laughed and called it truth I called it sinking in A gull cut through the wind Like a note held way too long We both heard something else And both of us were wrong [Pre-Chorus] One step, then another Till the shoreline starts to bend What I call a warning You call a place to stand [Chorus] Lenses on the sand Lenses on the sand We see it how we can We see it how we can Layer on a little more Layer on a little more What was hidden before Comes rushing to the shore (Lenses on the sand) [Bridge] Take off one, then two Let the sea look back through you A cracked-up view Still tells the truth [Final Chorus] Lenses on the sand Lenses on the sand We see it how we can We see it how we can Layer on a little more Layer on a little more What was hidden before Comes rushing to the shore (Lenses on the sand)
