Lyric

The tide pulls back but leaves its mark

White on my skin, your fragile heart

I walk alone where we once stayed

Every step still knows your name

I breathe you out, I breathe you in

Like endings never really end

Salt and echoes, call my chest

What I lost, what never left

Salt & echoes stay with me

Like the sea won’t let me be

You’re not here, but you remain

In the silence after rain

I let go, or so it seems

But love moves slow inside my dreams

Salt & echoes, soft and low

Still the way I miss you flows

The sky turns gold, then fades to blue

Just like the truth I knew of you

No goodbye, no final sound

Just your voice still hanging round

I close my eyes, I drift away

But memory decides to stay

Salt and echoes, in the tide

Every word I never cried

Salt & echoes pull me back

To the place we almost had

Time goes on, but something knows

Hearts don’t heal, they just grow slow

You’re the ache I learned to keep

A name my heartbeat still repeats

Salt & echoes, deep inside

Where I hide what never died

The night is calm, the ocean still

But my heart moves against my will

Your shadow dances on the sand

Like you’re reaching for my hand

I tell myself you’re finally gone

But tell it like a half-known song

Salt and echoes, through the dark

Every beat returns its mark

Salt & echoes, say my name

Like fire without a flame

You were brief, but you were real

More than time can ever steal

If this love is just a trace

I’ll wear it slow upon my face

Salt & echoes, won’t erase

The way you stay, the way you stay

The world moves on, the sea remains

Unchanged beneath a thousand rains

I walk that line where we once stood

Still hoping that I understood

I tried to leave, I tried to start

But walked in circles with my heart

Salt and echoes, fade in sound

But never leave the ground

Salt & echoes, I release

Not to forget, but live in peace

You’re not mine, but not a lie

Just a truth that passed me by

I’ll sing your name into the blue

And let the waves decide for you

Salt & echoes, sweet and slow

Still the last thing I let go
