Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two folding chairs, a tackle box, a paper cup of worms The radio said rain by six, but the sky don't listen much You bait my hook without a word, I watch the water turn You say your job is fine, I say my back's not hurt [Pre-Chorus] Then you pull your phone out, ask me what to play I scroll past twenty songs and land on the same old tape [Chorus] So we sit here lying to the gulls and to the tide Both of us say we're doing fine, fine, fine But you know my tell and I know yours, we've practiced it for years Two old liars on a pier, pretending we're alright Yeah, we're alright [Verse 2] You lost the store in April, I didn't say I knew You didn't ask about my truck, the one I sold in June We talk about the weather like it's something we can fix The line goes slack, we reel it back, and fill the quiet in [Pre-Chorus] Halfway through the third song, you hum the harmony Off-key, like you always do, and something loosens in me [Chorus] So we sit here lying to the gulls and to the tide Both of us say we're doing fine, fine, fine But you know my tell and I know yours, we've practiced it for years Two old liars on a pier, pretending we're alright Yeah, we're alright [Bridge] The sun drops low, the water goes gold You say, "Next week, I might take a shift down at the coast" It's the first true thing you've said all day I say, "Then leave the playlist with me when you go" [Chorus] And we'll sit here, telling jokes to gulls and to the tide Both of us might be doing fine, fine, fine 'Cause you know my tell and I know yours, we've practiced it for years Two old liars on a pier, but the light's still in the sky Yeah, the light's still in the sky The light's still in the sky
