Lyrics
Verse 1
I came back with a story
Not the one I told
This house still holds your breathing
Inside the cold
Your name waits in the doorway
I don’t cross that line
Some things don’t go missing
They just change sides
Pre-Chorus
We learned how to be quiet
Before goodbye had a name
Chorus
The tide knows what we buried
Keeps washing it home
Every road I took from you
Led me back alone
We never called it love
But it stayed the same
Somewhere in the distance
You still say my name
Verse 2
You were there in the harbour
Like time never moved
I left with empty hands
You kept the proof
We practiced being strangers
In clear daylight
But silence always talks
At night
Chorus
The tide knows what we buried
Keeps washing it home
Every road I took from you
Led me back alone
We never called it love
But it stayed the same
Somewhere in the distance
You still say my name
Outro:
We learned how to be quiet
Before goodbye had a name
