Lyrics © DNJL 2026. All rights reserved. The tide is breathing in the dark A silver line beneath the sky I came here just to lose my thoughts But something else is pulling me I walked down where the streetlights end Where the night leans into the blue Every wave was a voice again Every sound felt a little like you Salt on my skin, quiet in my chest World fell off like the tide I didn’t speak but the water knew Every truth I tried to hide The ocean knows my name Calls it back in waves Every time I drift too far It pulls me into place I don’t have to explain All the words I couldn’t say The ocean knows my name And it lets me fade away Footprints lost in the moving sand Like the thoughts I couldn’t keep Every step that I thought I planned Was already sinking deep Moonlight cuts through the dark like glass Silver lines on the sea I was running from everything Now it’s all running back to me The ocean knows my name Calls it back in waves Every time I drift too far It pulls me into place I don’t have to explain All the words I couldn’t say The ocean knows my name And it lets me fade away I let the water take it Every fear I couldn’t face All the noise I carried Starts to wash away I don’t need to hold it I don’t need to stay the same I can leave it in the tide I can let it change The ocean knows my name Soft as it remains Even when I disappear It calls me back again I don’t have to explain There’s nothing left to say The ocean knows my name And it carries me away
