meet me down

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

Salt on the rail where I left my shoes

Counting the bottles the tide brought in

A gull stole a chip from my open hand

Nobody told me the sand could sing

I built a tower then watched it lean

Plastic and paper and borrowed time

Somewhere a radio hums in the weeds

Playing a song that I almost mind

Chorus

Meet me down on the plastic beach

Where the water forgets what it used to reach

Meet me down where the seagulls preach

And the foam writes nothing at all

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Nothing at all

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 2

Strangers drift in with their paper crowns

Trading their secrets for cheap sunscreen

I know a guy who can hum like the wind

I know a girl who can fold the sea

Every umbrella's a little sun

Every umbrella's a little shade

I keep a map of a place I made

Folded in half in my coat's inside

Chorus

Meet me down on the plastic beach

Where the water forgets what it used to reach

Meet me down where the seagulls preach

And the foam writes nothing at all

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Nothing at all

Oh-oh-oh

Bridge

Lay me where the tide comes slow

Lay me where the tide comes slow

I don't need the shore to know my name

I just need the sand to hold the shape

Chorus

Meet me down on the plastic beach

Where the water forgets what it used to reach

Meet me down where the seagulls preach

And the foam writes nothing at all

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Nothing at all

Oh-oh-oh
