Lyrics

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 1

Packed my suitcase by the back door

Salt in the air and nothing to say

The shoreline stretches like a question

I don't have answers anyway

Pre-Chorus

Every mile that I'm drifting

Feels less like running and more like leaving

Every wave that keeps pulling

Pulls me further from the feeling

Chorus

Going further from you

Further from the way it used to be

Going further from you

The tide keeps taking all of me

Post-Chorus

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Verse 2

The boardwalk hums a quiet tune

Trumpet calls across the blue

I keep walking past the faded signs

Where we left our names in the sand

Pre-Chorus

Every step on the wet ground

Softens something I thought was solid

Every breath that I'm taking

Tastes like mornings I can't relive

Chorus

Going further from you

Further from the way it used to be

Going further from you

The tide keeps taking all of me

Bridge

Maybe distance is a kind of mercy

Maybe the horizon is the only friend I need

The bassline of my heartbeat keeps on going

Piano under every thought you leave

Chorus

Going further from you

Further from the way it used to be

Going further from you

The tide keeps taking all of me

Post-Chorus

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Further and further

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Further and further
