Lyrics
Left the city in the rearview, dust on the dash
Drove until the road just ended, stepped out on the ash
Took a breath that felt the first one, heavy and deep
Looked behind me at the footprints, promises I couldn't keep
And the water's getting closer, pulling on the shore
Feeling lighter than I should, can't hold on anymore
(no, can't hold on)
On the black sand
I'm starting over
The tide comes in and takes it all
On the black sand
Nothing's older
Than a minute before the next wave falls
The slate is smooth, a blank reflection, dark and wet and clean
No trace of where my weight had been, no evidence of me
The mist is on my skin now, a cool and quiet kiss
There's nothing left to carry, no version of me I miss
(no, I don't miss)
On the black sand
I'm starting over
The tide comes in and takes it all
On the black sand
Nothing's older
Than a minute before the next wave falls
And if it all comes back tomorrow, lines drawn in the gray
I'll let the ocean have that too, and walk another way
Forgiven by the rhythm, the push and pull and release
This heavy peace
On the black sand
I'm starting over
The tide comes in and takes it all
On the black sand
Nothing's older
Than a minute before the next wave falls
(starting over, starting over)
Footprints fade
Horizon blends
Just the sound of the water again
Just the sound
