Walking Toward the Tide

-- Auto Lyrics --

Intro

Verse 1

Four A.M. and the highway's humming

I left a note pinned to the kitchen door

Said I needed to see the ocean breathing

I couldn't be the man I was before

Pre-Chorus

And the radio crackles a signal

Pulling me through the static and the rain

Every mile is a question I'm asking

Chorus

Take me somewhere I can start again

Let the water wash the years away

I'm not running from the life I'm leaving

I'm walking toward the one I'll find today

Verse 2

The gas station clerk at the county line

Asked me where a stranger's headed to

I said east until the sky turns open

He said son that's what the restless do

Pre-Chorus

Now the dashboard glows like a lantern

And the road unspools like thread unbound

Every turn is a door I'm not closing

Chorus

Take me somewhere I can start again

Let the water wash the years away

I'm not running from the life I'm leaving

I'm walking toward the one I'll find today

Bridge

And when the first light broke the ridgeline

I saw the harbor and the waiting tide

All the songs I never finished singing

Flooded out across the rising sky

Instrumental Journey

Final Chorus

Take me somewhere I can start again

Let the water wash the years away

I'm not running from the life I'm leaving

I'm walking toward the one I'll find today

Outro

The one I'll find today

The one I'll find today
