Pulled From the Shore

While the waves are falling empty, and the words don't mean a thing

All the faces that you once knew are watching through a screen

And while your clarity is fading, you're clawing out for more

And everyone you once knew is watching from the shore

And one day, the shoreline will erode

And all we can do is watch as you're pulled from the shore

Pulled from the shore

Pulled from the shore

Pulled from the shore

There's a wind on the horizon, and the clouds are pushing on

But the poetry you once read is spinning in a song

And the lines are only written where the water claims the sand

For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand

And one day, the shoreline will erode

And all we can do is watch as you're pulled from the shore

Pulled from the shore

Pulled from the shore

Pulled from the shore

And I'm sitting by the water as the sunset fades

And halfway 'round the world begins another day

I'm looking at a photo as the edges fray

And soon enough, the footprints will be swept away

Pulled from the shore

And now the daylight is fading

Pulled from the shore

But I can still make my way home

Pulled from the shore

'Cause there's a light that you left me

Pulled from the shore

But you're not there no more

You're pulled from the shore
