Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Nineteen hours into the worst day of my life,
I sat on the wall and I watched the water rise.
You sat down beside me like the cold was nothing new,
poured me half a thermos and you said the tide comes through.
I heard a wetsuit zip, I heard you hit the foam,
and you swam out past the buoys and you left me on my own.

[Build]

[Chorus]
You'll never know you kept me here.
One throwaway sentence and a year.
I'm still alive on a line you don't remember saying, dear —
you'll never know you kept me here.

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
I drove back down at dawn with the heater on too high,
taillights swinging slow across the sand lot as I died
a little at the sight of that same empty stretch of grey.
Salt drying on my jacket and nobody left to say it to.
The tide came back for nothing in particular today.

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
You'll never know you kept me here.
One throwaway sentence and a year.
I'm still alive on a line you don't remember saying, dear —
you'll never know you kept me here.

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
I look for you in every swimmer walking out at five.
I'd tell you what you did, but you'd just ask me if I'm fine.

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
You'll never know you kept me here.
You'll never know.
