Hightide

[HIGHTIDE PT 1]

[Verse]

I lit a couple matches
Crushed below my foot
It burned to my attic
Now it’s raining soot
I keep on
Keep feeling close to you
I keep on
The sand on my feet feels so new
Whisper from the shoreline
Laid my ear down hard
Shells hear ocean
My cell ain’t turning on
I keep on
Keep on holding on to
I keep on
The water matches you

[Chorus (behind second chorus)](x2)

I don’t
I don’t
Wanna feel
I don’t
I don’t wash my body in the sea
[What waves can't tell me]
(I can’t be alone
Walking in the shore
I’m searching for
What waves can’t tell me
The waves can’t tell me)
[What waves can't tell me]

[HIGHTIDE PT 2]

I don’t like the beach no more
I don’t like the surf or the sand
It hurts my hands to let it run through
Look at the edge I’ve come to
Never wore sunscreen
Even when you’d watch me
Waves felt like homestead
Always run into the ocean
I can’t drown no more
That’s not what these blues were meant for
I can’t swim to shore
The tide pulled me out I’m sure
I lit a couple matches
Crushed within my teeth
High tide don’t panic
The water only seems too deep

[Chorus]

I don’t wash my body in the sea
I don’t want the shore to carry me
I don’t wanna go outside just to see
I don’t know why you didn’t wait for me

[Behind Chorus and voicemail]

You call out my name
Swim left
The shore seems far away
I’m swept
Under the waves
I won’t forget
The time we spent
Not much time left
You called sorry
I can’t pickup
Fall came early
Summer missed her
But golden rays
Hit ocean deep
At night the waves
Don’t let me sleep

[Voicemail]

The wind gets the ashes
My tongues tied to matches
My lungs get the ashes
You asked the water carry your ashes
But I didn’t get it when I was young
I didn’t get the feeling
I didn’t get the feeling
I didn’t get the freedom
I didn’t get how you could ask me to do that
But I let you free
Never seeming to let you go
I hope the water keeps you close to me
I hope the waves bring you to the shore when I’m there at night when I can’t sleep
Or when I’m sleeping and I find myself walking the shore during the day
I didn’t get how you could let me go
But I let go with my hands in the water
I let go with my hands in the water
And that’s when I called
Like I said some are just ideas
I really miss her ma
I really can’t let her go
Anyways
Call me back when you get this message
Alright love you
Buhbye
