crashing-in-slow-motion

You talk in circles

Tide marks on your sleeves

Salt on your lashes

You say you're finally leaving

But your breathing comes in little

storms Like the shoreline learning a

new form

We are crashing in slow motion

White foam wrapped around our feet

Every promise like an ocean

Pulling out from under me

I keep standing in your current

Letting all your weight wash through

We are crashing in slow motion

And I'm still walking back to

you

Glass in the water

Shimmer then it stings

You hide your history

Under quieter things

But your silence roars inside this

room Like a breaker waiting for

the moon

We are crashing in slow motion

White foam wrapped around our feet

Every promise like an ocean

Pulling out from under me

I keep standing in your current

Letting all your weight wash through

We are crashing in slow motion

And I'm still walking back to

you

Say it softly

if you have to go

Let it hit me like a

secret untold

If you leave me,

don't you rush away Let it

happen like a long slow wave

We are crashing in slow motion

White foam wrapped around our feet

Every promise like an ocean

Pulling out from under me

I keep standing in your current

Letting all your weight wash through

We are crashing in slow motion

And I'm still walking back to

you
