Saltwater Halo

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You came in on a blue heat wave Sand still stuck to your knees I had a cheap cup of lemonade You had that grin on me Your hair was all sunlit static My heart went out of tune We wrote our names in the sidewalk dust Then laughed at the afternoon [Pre-Chorus] And the day slowed down When you looked my way I swear the whole town Fell into the shade [Chorus] Saltwater halo Stay on my skin Saltwater halo Pull me back in We were a flicker Under July Saltwater halo You and I [Verse 2] Late-night drive with the windows down Your hand on my sleeve The radio sang through the open air Like it knew what I need We parked by the closed-up pier Watched the waves turn gold You traced my name on the fogged-up glass Then let the whole thing fold [Pre-Chorus] And the moon stayed up Like it had plans You said take me home I said take my hand [Chorus] Saltwater halo Stay on my skin Saltwater halo Pull me back in We were a flicker Under July Saltwater halo You and I [Bridge] If it fades, let it fade slow Keep the warm glow In my bones If you go, let me keep That little spark For when I’m alone [Final Chorus] Saltwater halo Stay on my skin Saltwater halo Pull me back in We were a flicker Under July Saltwater halo You and I Saltwater halo (you and I) Saltwater halo (stay a while)
