[Intro]

[Muted acoustic guitar picking with a slight vinyl hiss]

[Verse 1]

The salt is itching on my sunburned skin

Counting the boats that the tide pulled in

You left a toothbrush by the bathroom sink

Now it's just plastic and a missing link

[Verse 2]

I bought a postcard that I’ll never mail

To a ghost who’s forgotten how to sail

The coffee’s cold and the sugar’s gone dry

Just like the logic in your last goodbye

[Chorus]

The horizon is a liar with a golden tongue

Keeping the songs that we never sung

It’s a thin blue line where the world just ends

Where lovers turn back into awkward friends

Yeah, the edge of the sea is a beautiful wall

Watching me stumble, waiting for the fall

[Verse 3]

There’s a black umbrella in the hallway stand

A tragic relic of a weekend planned

The neighbors ask if I’ve heard the news

I tell them I’m busy polishing my blues

[Bridge]

Maybe the water isn't deep at all

Maybe the sky is just about to fall

I’m standing here with my pockets full of sand

Waiting for a wave I don't understand

[Chorus]

The horizon is a liar with a golden tongue

Keeping the songs that we never sung

It’s a thin blue line where the world just ends

Where lovers turn back into awkward friends

Yeah, the edge of the sea is a beautiful wall

Watching me stumble, waiting for the fall

[Outro]

[Fading sound of distant seagulls and waves]

Just a thin blue line...

A beautiful wall...

[End]
