City dust is on my shoes
Head full of a thousand news
But your message on my phone
Says, “come down, don’t go alone”
Catch a local, ride the line
Leave the heavy world behind
Soon as I can taste the salt
Every worry comes to a halt
When the tide rolls in, all the noise grows thin
Heartbeat falling in with the waves again
Take me back to the hideaway coast
Where the sunlight paints your face in gold
Barefoot steps in the sand we chose
Writing our names where the warm wind blows
If I ever feel lost, I know
You’re waiting by the water at the hideaway coast
You’re leaning on that faded wall
Sound of laughter down the hall
Old cassette inside your bag
Mix of roots and neo-soul tracks
We don’t even have to speak
Rhythm talking while we breathe
Every chord that fills the air
Says “you’re safe as long as you’re here”
When the tide rolls in, all the doubt grows thin
Every little fear gets washed within
Take me back to the hideaway coast
Where the sunlight paints your face in gold
Barefoot steps in the sand we chose
Writing our names where the warm wind blows
If I ever feel lost, I know
You’re waiting by the water at the hideaway coast
Let the world keep turning fast
We can stay outside of that
Slow groove moving through our bones
Drums and waves, the same tempo
If tomorrow pulls us far
Keep this shoreline in your heart
Close your eyes and you will hear
All the songs we started here
Take me back to the hideaway coast
Where the daylight never feels too cold
Barefoot steps in the sand we chose
Holding you close as the warm wind blows
If I ever feel lost, I know
I’ll find my way back home
To our hideaway coast
