00:22I remember the weight of the morning
00:26Salt on my lips like a vow
00:30The way you said don't look back too long
00:34Like you knew what I know now
00:38There are goodbyes that feel like weather
00:42Ain't moving before you see
00:45One minute you're still somebody's home
00:49Next minute you're learning to leave
00:53So I folded my fear in the sailcloth
00:58I hid my ache in the seams
01:01And I watched the shoreline shrink to a line
01:05Like a story losing its ink
01:09That's the shore I won't return
01:12Not because I hate it
01:17Because I can't be who I was
01:21And still survive it
01:24Let the sea keep what it keeps
01:28Let the goals take what they want
01:32I'll carry love like a quiet bird
01:38But that sure I won't
01:47They'll tell you time makes it easier
01:51Like time is a gentle thing
01:55But time just teaches your hands to hold
02:00Without crushing everything
02:03I learned to sleep through empty spaces
02:07To wake up and still behold
02:11To let a memory sting my throat
02:15And not let it close
02:18If you're standing where we once stood
02:23If you're hearing this as wind
02:26No, I didn't leave you behind on purpose
02:31I left the person I'd been
02:34That's the shore I won't return
02:38Not because I hate it
02:42Because I can't be who I was
02:46And still survive it
02:50Let the sea keep what it keeps
02:54Let the dollars take what they want
02:57I'll carry love like a quiet bird
03:03But that sure I won't
03:13I bless the hands that held me
03:24I bless the nights that tried
03:28I bless the door I had to close
03:32To keep the flame alive
03:36And if the world calls it heartbreak
03:41I'll call it dawn
03:44Cause I learned the kind of freedom
03:48You'll only earn when you're gone
03:53Not so sure I won't return
04:01Not because I can be who I was
04:10And still survive it
04:15Let the sea keep what it keeps
04:21Let the ghosts take what they want
04:24I'll carry love like a quiet bird
04:34But that sure I won't
04:45The shore I won't return
04:58Yesterday I won't return
04:59I won't return
04:59backed the selv RLJRELS
05:01And still Scan in the kud who I read
05:10I won't return
05:11I won't return
05:13Let the sea keep what you're
