Wrightsville Beach

Paint a picture as we're walking down our street

A collage of paints of mud and steam

Just a déjà vu or still life in a dream

There you stood just watching as the rain poured down on me

We were once a canvas so bright and full color

Now we've become dull regrets with a grain of sand

And cracked eyes filled with black eyes

That are staring so blank

Let the waves crash down

To swallow all of us and wash away

These memories we tried to save

Or was it enough to be brave?

How did we get so damn far by ignoring everything?

You were the sand beneath my feet

Eroded by the tide

It's too old to believe

Let the waves crash down

To swallow all of us and wash away

These memories we tried to save

Or was it enough to be brave?

All we ever wanted was a cool dry place to rest our bones

Not to drift along in this current forever

Not have to sink alone

All we ever wanted was a cool dry place to rest our bones

Not to drift along in this current forever

Not have to sink alone

Let the waves crash down

To swallow all of us and wash away

These memories we tried to save

Or was it enough to be brave?
