Salt Water

Lyricist: Ed Sheeran & Aaron Dessner     Composer: Ed Sheeran & Aaron Dessner

There's still so far to go
And I can't feel my toes
When the rain soaks through the hills
And slips to the sole
Yeah, the blades are two feet tall
I wade in green, I'm moving forward to where god only knows
Feel the wind's harsh refrain
And the clouds grip my face
Saying it's alright to run from all this pain
Oh, when it's time to go
With one last breath that's in my lungs
I scream, "It's all for love"
I scream, "It's all for love"
Come and kiss me, salt water
Oh, finally, I feel, at three or four degrees
I'm free in salt water
Embrace the deep and leave everything
It was just a dream
I can see it up ahead
Where the sky meets the ground
And after that, there's only moving grey
I am filled up with regret
With things I did or never said, just leave that well alone
And, come kiss me, salt water
Oh, finally, I feel, at three or four degrees
I'm free in salt water
Embrace the deep and leave everything
It was just a dream
Ah-ah
It was just a dream
It was just a dream?
Ah-ah
It was just a dream
Was it just a dream?
Now I'm standing on the edge
Gazing into Hell
Or is it something else?
I just can't tell
When there's nothin' left
I close my eyes and take one step
And say, "Well, here it goes"
And say, "Well, here it goes"
Come and kiss me, salt water
Oh, finally, I feel, at three or four degrees
I'm free in salt water
Embrace the deep and leave everything
It was just a dream
