Tidepools

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You leave your sweater on my chair Salt on the cuffs from the walk back there I fold it once, then let it fall Like I could keep the whole day small [Pre-Chorus] And when you turn toward me The room lets go of its careful air I don’t need a promise Just stay right there [Chorus] Meet me where the tidepools hold the blue Little worlds that keep a trace of you When the water pulls away, I still find Your warmth in the quiet, your hand in mine Tidepools, tidepools, I come back to you Every small goodbye leaves something true [Verse 2] Your coffee cools beside the sink You tell me what you almost didn’t think I hear the honest in your voice The brave soft ache beneath the choice [Pre-Chorus] And when you turn toward me The room lets go of its careful air I don’t need forever Just meet me there [Chorus] Meet me where the tidepools hold the blue Little worlds that keep a trace of you When the water pulls away, I still find Your warmth in the quiet, your hand in mine Tidepools, tidepools, I come back to you Every small goodbye leaves something true [Bridge] If the sea comes up and covers what we knew I’ll remember how the light stayed close to you No grand words, no map to make it right Just your shoulder leaning into mine tonight [Final Chorus] Meet me where the tidepools hold the blue Little worlds that keep a trace of you When the water pulls away, I still find Your warmth in the quiet, your hand in mine Tidepools, tidepools, I come back to you Tidepools, tidepools, I keep choosing you Every small goodbye leaves something true [Outro] Tidepools, tidepools I come back to you
