Tidal Heart

Verse 1

Soft rain on a taxi roof,

City hum under every truth.

Your name drifts across my phone,

Blue light on my skin like home.

Window glass is breathing slow,

Streetlights blur, then overflow.

I close my eyes and feel you start

Rising like a wave inside my heart.

Pre-Chorus

We don't talk the way we used to,

But you move in every move I do.

Even when the room is quiet,

You're the echo running through it.

Chorus

You're my tidal heart, pulling at the shore,

Every time I heal, you come back for more.

In and out of focus, soft then sharp,

You're the undertow beneath my calm.

You're my tidal heart, rising in the dark,

Touching every scar, lighting every spark.

I could run, but I'd still drown in you,

Every wave just brings me back to you.

Verse 2

Coffee cold on the windowsill,

Morning sun, but I'm quiet still.

Your sweatshirt on the kitchen chair,

I move around it like it's still you there.

Every song finds your silhouette,

Little ghosts in a cigarette.

I try to breathe you out of me,

But loving you's a tidal sea.

Pre-Chorus

We don't fit the way we planned to,

Still, my future leans its weight on you.

Even when I say "I'm over,"

You're the hush beneath the closure.

Chorus

You're my tidal heart, pulling at the shore,

Every time I heal, you come back for more.

In and out of focus, soft then sharp,

You're the undertow beneath my calm.

You're my tidal heart, rising in the dark,

Touching every scar, lighting every spark.

I could run, but I'd still drown in you,

Every wave just brings me back to you.

Bridge

Maybe some loves never end,

They just learn to bend.

Pulling softer, leaving traces,

Living quietly in empty spaces.

If I never say your name again,

You'll still live between my breaths.

Final Chorus

You're my tidal heart, softer than before,

Washing all the salt from every war.

In and out of memory, light and dark,

You're the rhythm underneath my heart.

You're my tidal heart, and I'll let you be,

Not my cage, but part of me.

I'll move on, but I'll move with you

Every wave just teaching me something new.

Outro

Soft rain on a taxi roof,

I let go, but I keep the truth.

Some tides leave, some tides stay

You're the ocean that taught me how to sway.
