Warm breeze on my skin
Nothing’s asking where I’ve been
Curtains sway in salty air
Time feels thin, I barely care
Skin still warm from morning light
Every color feels less bright
A ceiling fan, a lazy sound
Footsteps soft on hollow ground
All the clocks forgot my name
Every day feels just the same
No plans written in my head
Just the sound of waves instead
Slow tide afternoon
Nothing pulling me too soon
Every breath is lazy blue
I’m just drifting through
Ice melts in a glass of lime
We forget about the time
Shadows stretch along the floor
I don’t want to need much more
Voices float from far away
Like a song I almost play
Every thought arrives too late
Nothing here I need to change
Let the moment pass me by
Like clouds moving in the sky
Slow tide afternoon
Let the sunlight blur the room
Every second feels half-true
In this quiet mood
Ooh, the world is slowing down
Ooh, I’m nowhere to be found
Salt dries slowly on my hair
Plastic chairs and ocean air
Someone laughs, then fades away
Like another borrowed day
I don’t check my phone tonight
No directions, no replies
If I lose the edge of time
I think I’ll be just fine
All the noise is far below
Like a distant radio
Slow tide afternoon
Nothing more I need to do
Heart is low, the sky is wide
I just let it slide
If I sleep, let it be long
With the ocean as my song
If I wake, don’t make it fast
Let this feeling last
Breathing in, breathing out
That’s what living’s all about
Slow tide afternoon
Every worry coming loose
All the sharpness turning smooth
Underneath this blue
When the day begins to bend
I won’t ask it where it went
Tide goes out, tide comes through
I leave a little lighter too
