Hearts of Tidewater

Stretched my hand out towards your light
I dove into the blood-dirt
Heart of Tidewater

Choking on ideas that feel
Bigger than me

Laughing like I had a plan
Slipped when trying to grip the earth
You were crying

Choking on ideas that move
Faster than I

Could say I'm sorry
Pride, it tells a different story
Fear my nights alone

Fort Myers
You ghost town
Florida's hurricanes have
Stripped our marks from you

I've seen the house
It looks like it's been

Swallowed
Oh sister
Escaping from our island
We knew everything
Sweet arrogance of kids, No I

Won't say I'm sorry
Pride, it tells a different story
Fear my nights alone

Oh Ivan
The palm trees
Are gone

Choking on ideas that feel
Bigger than me
Choking on ideas that
Move faster than

I can imagine Sanibel
Day trips with you
The shells cut our feet
But still we raced out to the sea
That sunk us down

Watched the storm strike from the deck
To count the thunder's deep footsteps
We taped the Xs to the panes
Oh danger back then, just a game

As far as origins stories go
Our dock lost to the undertow
Do you smell beaches in the rain?
Do visions flash, you can't sustain?

Oh nostalgia's
Dark clouds
Break way
To bliss

Can imagine Sanibel
Day trips with you
The shells cut our feet
But still we raced out to the sea
That sunk us down

With every red moon rise
The melody of frogs
Would lull us
Can a place be gone
If senses won't move on?
Our hearts of Tidewater
Our hearts of Tidewater
