salt on sand - ziz adler lyrics

salt on sand lyrics
[verse]
i don’t know why i replied
when you asked me where i’d gone
i wish that i’d denied it
but you’re so much like my mom
and i think you kind of knew
and i’ve always been afraid of you
and fear distorts my words
until they somehow come out true

[verse]
i told you i had left
because you made me feel small
which was not at all a lie
but which was not your fault at all
i evaporated every time you couldn’t understand
leaving only shame behind me
like salt on sand

[chorus]
salt on sand
was the sound of my voice
it was muted and gritty
like i didn’t have a choice
when i sat in an armchair
with a phone in my hand
and i pulled away from love
like a ship from land
[verse]
and where was it i travelled
when i left you behind?
to the kind of love i thought
i’d waited all my life to find
to the arms of one who loved me
in a way that mattered more
cause it could never come again
because it never had before

[verse]
if the love i felt was less a joy
and more of a command
if i felt myself evaporate
each time he took my hand
still i thought that there was nothing
i could not withstand
even leaving you behind me
like salt on sand

[chorus]
salt on sand
was your face in my dreams
with a faint metallic glitter
under bright sunbeams
and i woke with a regret
that i refused to understand—
i had pulled away from love
like a ship from land
[verse]
when the fairytale imploded
and i moved back home
and his presence in my mind
began to fade like foam
you presented me an offer
on a winter day
the resumption of a friendship
i had pushed away

[verse]
when our children play together
in a time to come
we will teach them what i didn’t understand
when i was young
to beware of love that pulls you
like a ship away from land
like the water from a harbor
till you’re salt on sand
on sand
