"What you

Wrote’s a lonely note for morning’s tide to soon erode"

Those were drawings in the sand that washed away when I awoke

All I hoped was I could dig a hole

So deep that I could grow my own ocean

And build a moat around it just to see me float

But I couldn’t and I won’t

What I want’s a different longing

That's an artificial drawing

I want art the fish will draw when

They come swimming in their colony

And swarm my feet to call on me to

Take a dive instead of trying to

Make a splash to wash my feet

The stars are scattered now

But they’ll align one day

But all I ask is how

And silent they stay

I know it’s warm, but it’s cold

I’m far, but I’m home

I’m certain that there’s nothing that I know except this ebb and flow

CHORUS:

The way we come and go

Feels like I’ll never know

I’m covered head to toe in endless doubt and reckless hope

We’re steady as a roller coaster down and up we roll

But I keep coming back to float along this

Ebb and flow

The way we come and go

Feels like I’ll never know

I’m covered head to toe in endless doubt and reckless hope

We’re steady as a roller coaster down and up we roll

But I keep coming back to float along this

Ebb and flow

Align they did

When I thought that I would quit

I was convinced you were a myth when

That old ocean wrote his fiction

But your glory brought epiphany

You waved at me with flipper feet

And showed me what I didn’t see

Without my eyes beneath the sea

The depth of love brought plenty pressure

When diving for that buried treasure

I made my vacant heart and vacant lungs a ready vessel

Then you waltzed with me when dawn had broke

And froze me with the song you spoke

Proposed me with the choice I chose

A dash of breeze and tide to go

The way we come and go

Feels like I’ll never know

I’m covered head to toe in endless doubt and reckless hope

We’re steady as a roller coaster down and up we roll

But I keep coming back to float along this

Ebb and flow

The way we come and go

Feels like I’ll never know

I’m covered head to toe in endless doubt and reckless hope

We’re steady as a roller coaster down and up we roll

But I keep coming back to float along this

Ebb and flow

With every calm a storm, with every storm a rainbow

The sky might cry its mighty eyes out and then wear a halo

I never took you for a shore thing, but know I'm grateful

The waves and tide come up and down but still the shore is faithful
