Lyrics
You showed up barefoot in the harbor light Salt in your hair from the swim last night Wind in the palm started keeping that beach a laugh Seth feels like the islands on repeat We walked that shoreline like a movie scene Your dress all sammed, my shirt all green You said I don't need much, but air in peace I said cool cause all I own is thighs and coconut trees I'm just aboard on a broken rack But you still keep finding your way back
Your motion in a heartbeat whips crashing every time we meet Trade winds singing through the coconut trees You and my arms and the salt on the breeze If the tide rolls in then takes this town Long as you're here I won't drown I don't need much just days like these You the wind and tides in coconut trees
We skip the party at the hotel bar Shows a cooler and a beat-up cauldron Till the road turned into sand part Right where the water took the land Moonlight dancing on the reef out there You trace forever on the arms somewhere Said promise me we'll always chase nights like these I said baby that's the planet Tides and coconut trees Yeah the world's all noise past the harbor wall But out here I can't hear it
And just for you and me If the storm blows in and the sky turns gray We'll pull the truck close and just press play I don't need riches or big city scenes Just your laugh and tides and coconut trees If the waves wash out our footprints by dawn We'll just make more
Let them chase clocks and neon streets, they'll chase shells and tangle feet If all I own is this shoreline view, there's still a kingdom When it's shared with you, you're my ocean in a heartbeat Pull me in and knock me out
I still believe If the tide takes jobs, if the lights go black We'll still have waves leaving tracks out back I don't need tomorrow guarantee Just tonight With you and coconut trees With you and coconut trees If I ever lose my way out on this sea
I'll follow the sound of your laugh in the breeze Meet you where the water meets the coconut trees The partner, yeah The partner
