Where the Cliffs Meet the Sea


[Verse 1]
Sun’s spilling honey, slow gold on your skin
Waves keep a backbeat the rocks learned to sing
You stand where the granite remembers the years
Barefoot on history, burning off every tear


[Pre-Chorus]
Wind holds its breath when you turn real slow
And every road I was on was just leading me home


[Chorus]
So love me right here where the cliff meets the sea
Where the sky catches fire from the spark you put in me
Hold me like the world ends at the count of three
Kiss me like the only truth we’ll ever be
We don’t need permission, we don’t need a plan
Just your heartbeat pounding like thunder in my hand
Love me like the tide loves the moon pulling sure
Crashing, retreating, then coming back for more


[Verse 2]
Your laugh cuts the air like a gull on the run
That flush on your hips tastes like 1991
Every step that you take carves my name in the glow
Even the shadows surrender and let their dark go


[Pre-Chorus]
Time quits its day job when your eyes catch mine
Whole damn universe hits pause on the line


[Chorus][Interlude – 40 seconds full guitar solo][Bridge – stripped]
If we lived this moment a thousand times through
We’d still wash up here, salt skin, me and you
With the sun bleeding out on the edge of the sky
Turning the whole damn world to gold before it dies


[Harmony Rise – 12 seconds wordless oohs][Final Chorus – key up][Outro – 35 seconds fading guitar + waves]
Right here where the cliff meets the sea
Just you… and me…
Where the cliff meets the sea…
