Final Thought

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

Footprints on the shoreline fading with the tide

I trace them back to where you stood before you said goodbye

Salt and sand and summer light made halos round your face

We talked about forever in a momentary space

Now the water pulls me gentle like a lullaby of grief

And every wave still whispers back the promise of relief

Pre-Chorus

If I don't steel my steps tonight

If I don't armor up this soul

The weight of wanting you just might

Swallow me up whole

Chorus

They say men marked for sorrow only walk toward the grave

If that's my endless destiny then what is left to save

Why am I denied the only end I ever sought

To die within your arms and be your final thought

Post-Chorus

Your final thought

Your final thought

Mm

Verse 2

Should I leave my image carved as lover or as friend

This hesitation cuts me deeper than the bitter end

Two parallel horizons that we'll never make them touch

But every version of myself still loved you just as much

I kept every promise folded softly in my chest

Hoping one day I could hold you closer than the rest

Pre-Chorus

If I don't steel my steps tonight

If I don't armor up this soul

The weight of wanting you just might

Swallow me up whole

Chorus

To hold you close and breathe you in a native summer breeze

Instead I'm left with remedies that bring me to my knees

A twisted little blessing from a fickle Cupid's bow

He placed my only heart into the hands I used to know

Post-Chorus

Hands I used to know

Hands I used to know

Bridge

You took my breath away and left me stripped of every shield

I crave your touch the way a broken body craves to heal

In my dreams I hold you close I keep your every spark

So how am I supposed to live awake inside the dark

Outro

I surrender all my soul to the rhythm of this song

Trembling as I sing for the place where I belong

Your presence was my home your heart my only stay

Don't let us fade away

Don't let us fade away

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh
