Low Tide Thunder

Verse 1

Moonlight dripping off the fire escape

Cigarette smoke curling like a question mark

You said forever once but forever slipped away

Down the gutter with the rain and the dark

I traced your name in frost on the window glass

Winter kept it longer than you ever did

Now I count the trains that rumble past

Each one carries something that I hid

Pre-Chorus

And I keep going back to the way you laughed

Like static on a broken radio wave

I keep going back to the half of us

That never quite became what we saved

Chorus

So let the low tide pull me under

Let the cold wind take my name

I was built from summer thunder

And I burn just like a flame

Low tide pull me under

Watch the embers drift away

I was made of summer thunder

And I still know how to stay

Post-Chorus

Under under

Let it take me under

Under under

I still know how to stay

Verse 2

Neighborhood kids chalked the sidewalk blue

Hopscotch squares fading like a worn-out prayer

You moved to the coast and I stayed in this room

Counting every heartbeat that put us there

I kept your hoodie in the back of my drawer

Smelled like salt and gasoline regret

Funny how the things we adore

Are the ones we never really get

Pre-Chorus

And I keep going back to the way you left

Like a shutter closing over a photograph

I keep going back to the words we kept

Tucked away in a broken love's draft

Chorus

So let the low tide pull me under

Let the cold wind take my name

I was built from summer thunder

And I burn just like a flame

Low tide pull me under

Watch the embers drift away

I was made of summer thunder

And I still know how to stay

Bridge

Maybe cycles spin and circles close

Maybe rivers find their way back to the sea

Maybe every ending is a door that opens slow

Maybe you were always part of me

Part of me

Part of me

Chorus

So let the low tide pull me under

Let the cold wind take my name

I was built from summer thunder

And I burn just like a flame

Low tide pull me under

Watch the embers drift away

I was made of summer thunder

And I still know how to stay

Post-Chorus

Under under

Watch the embers drifting

Under under

I still know how to stay
