Hazel Ocean

Drive past the park bench where we talked together
Drive past your favorite place in this town
Train tracks, turn left at the stop light
Flowers on the front porch at your house
Open the door and there's your sister
She's got ideas that reach past the sky
Your mama's making dessert in the kitchen
Your father so loving, so kind

Falling on the ice
Dancing in the night
Do you hear the ghosts calling
Paintings in a frame
Colors fade away
Beautiful to nothing
I hold on to beautiful moments
Never thought I'd drown in your hazel ocean

Move the carpet in my living room
Took a little too long saying goodnight
I'm hearing stories I've never heard before
Laughing so hard we cry
Waves crash, bare feet on the sand together
Silhouette sunset, drive in the night
Rain and lightning try to chase us
We outran the shadows every time

Fingers on the keys
Ginger tea
You gave me your sweater
My hope was blind by your northern lights
You're a warm November
I hold on to beautiful moments
Never thought I'd drown in your hazel ocean

You say you never meant to hurt us
Was there something I could have done
To save, to save this love
Lights come up and you won the game
You had every reason to stay
It's okay to be afraid
But you ran away

Hold me in your arms
Crying in the car
You left like it was nothing
Erase our pictures
Forget my name
Am I fighting for something
Please take me back
When we'd never met
Two beautiful strangers
That evening on the stairs
Your fingers in my hair
I know you remember
I hold on to beautiful moments
Never thought I'd drown
I thought you'd save us babe
Never thought I'd drown in your hazel ocean
