Wad

Cold night Harbor lights Engine hum Then it’s quiet Skrrt off the pier, moon low, water like black glass Shorty on my side with a laugh and a wine glass Speed on the dash, I was playin’, she said “relax” Tide turned quick, one slip, never came back Wake up on the rocks, lungs burnin’, blue light glare Salt in my mouth, just screamin’ her name in the air They pulled me away, I was fightin’, still see her face White sheet, wet hair, that’s the picture that never fades By the water, where they dragged your name I dug my hands deep, carved out your place Planted you a willow, roots in the pain If love gotta live, let it live in the rain By the water, where I lost your breath I built you a forest from a single death Willow in the wind when the night turns grey It’s you every time that it starts to sway (yeah) They gave me a cell, gave me blame that I can’t dodge Judge talkin’ numbers, I just saw you on that dock Came home hollow, same harbor, same wrong turn Took a shovel to the mud where the tide churns One seed, two hands, dirt under torn nails Whispered you a promise that the law can’t jail Every year I slide back, hoodie up, eyes low Pour a little drink where your roots still grow (uh) By the water, where they dragged your name I dug my hands deep, carved out your place Planted you a willow, roots in the pain If love gotta live, let it live in the rain By the water, where I lost your breath I built you a forest from a single death Willow in the wind when the night turns grey It’s you every time that it starts to sway (yeah) Whole gang talk grease, but they don’t know grief They don’t see ghosts sittin’ in the front seat I don’t fear ends, I done watched one close Only thing I’m scared of is losin’ your ghost (real talk) By the water, where they dragged your name I dug my hands deep, carved out your place Planted you a willow, roots in the pain If love gotta live, let it live in the rain By the water, where I lost your breath I built you a forest from a single death Willow in the wind when the night turns grey It’s you every time that it starts to sway (yeah)
