From the recording Emerald Veil
Lyrics
Your shoes in your hand
My jacket on your shoulders
Sand stuck to our selves
We laugh as the sky gets bolder
Salt on your lips
You steal another kiss
We missed the last ride home
But I’m so glad for this
We’re still dancing at sunrise by the ocean
Spinning in a sweatshirt and an old dress
Slow in slow motion
World’s waking up behind us
Waves keeping time
They find us
We’re still dancing at sunrise by the ocean
Like time forgot to move us on
Music from a phone
Battery on red
You hum when the sound cuts
I follow where you lead instead
Seagulls draw their lines
Across a cotton sky
You whisper
“Don’t look back”
So I don’t even try
We’re still dancing at sunrise by the ocean
Spinning in a sweatshirt and an old dress
Slow in slow motion
World’s waking up behind us
Waves keeping time
They find us
We’re still dancing at sunrise by the ocean
Like time forgot to move us on
Every little worry
Left with the tide
Look at us
Blurry
But perfectly right
If this is all we ever
Get from this life
Bare feet
Bright water
I’d take it every time
We’re still dancing at sunrise by the ocean
Spinning in a sweatshirt and an old dress
Slow in slow motion
World’s waking up behind us
Waves keeping time
They find us
We’re still dancing at sunrise by the ocean
Like time forgot to move us on
Like time forgot to move us on
