I left my name in the campfire smoke
Now the lake won’t say it back (ahhhh)
You said we’d be brave like heroes in books
But I’m just a kid with salt on my face
I watched the tide take our careful looks
And turn them to foam in the wake (ooh)
And I tried to laugh,
tried to stand But my hands keep slipping through
If love is a current,
I can’t swim back
Not when it’s pulling to you (ahhhh)
Don’t let me go like a stone in the sea
I’m calling your name but it’s out of reach I’d cross every
mile
if you’d wait for me
But the waves keep writing goodbye on the beach (oh-oh) (ooh) (ahhhh)
Your letters are folded like maps I can’t read Every line leads
back to what we lost
I trace the ink where you promised you’d stay Now I pay
for it, counting the cost (ooh)
If the gods are real,
tell me why they’re so quiet While I’m breaking in two
I’d trade all the lightning for one honest moment
Where you say you miss me too (ahhhh)
Don’t let me go like a stone in the sea
I’m calling your name but it’s out of reach
I’d cross every mile if you’d wait for me But the waves
keep writing goodbye on the beach (oh-oh)
I left my name in the campfire smoke Now the night won’t
say it back (ooh)
