Water’s Edge Lyrics by Nearly York

Time Alone

2018

[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 1]
All the sand from this beach in an hourglass still wouldn't do
All the time in the world, but every grain of it is wasted on you
We once sat here 'til morning, your head resting easy on me
Now I sit here alone, skipping rocks, you're the ripples that I see
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-whoa-whoa-woah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
Take me there, out to the water's edge
The sea so fair, her heart in disguise
Can we pretend that we never knew each other
Just for tonight? Then out with the tide
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh-yeah
Ooh, ooh-yeah
[Verse 2]
All the sand from this beach upon my back would be a heavy weight to bear
I dig my feet in too deep like I've always done and search for comfort there
Every detail brings recurrence of an emptiness I never understood
An emptiness that weighs more than all the sand from every shoreline ever could
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
Take me there, out to the water's edge
The sea so fair, her heart in disguise
Can we pretend that we never knew each other
Just for tonight? Then out with the tide
Take me there, out to the water's edge
The sea so fair, her heart in disguise
Can we pretend that we never knew each other
Just for tonight? Then out with the tide
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh, yeah-yeah (Take me there, out to the water's edge)
Yeah-yeah (The sea so fair, her heart in disguise)
Ooh (Can we pretend that we never knew each other?)
Ooh, yeah, yeah (Then out with the tide)
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
