Pulling Me To Shore

I was drifting down a lonely road
But then I saw you standing by the door
Now every heavy secret that I hold
Is lifting as you're pulling me to shore
The wooden floorboards creaking as you step
You wear that flannel shirt I left behind
A softer secret that we haven't kept
There’s only one direction on my mind
The shadows slowly stretch across the wall
I lean in closer just to feel your breath
I trace a line and wait for you to call
This quiet tension beating in my chest
Oh, you’re the rising tide against my skin
A steady rhythm that I can’t ignore
I open up and let the water in
Because I know you’re pulling me to shore
Yeah, you’re pulling me to shore
Pulling me right back to you once more
Your fingers trace a circle on my hand
A little spark that starts a roaring fire
We don’t need any compass in the sand
To navigate this beautiful desire
The whiskey resting softly on your lips
A lingering reflection of the flame
With every subtle motion of your hips
I want to show you what I couldn't say
Oh, you’re the rising tide against my skin
A steady rhythm that I can’t ignore
I open up and let the water in
Because I know you’re pulling me to shore
Yeah, you’re pulling me to shore
Pulling me right back to you once more
Caught in the motion of a falling star
I find my anchor resting in your eyes
It doesn't matter where we really are
Beneath the shelter of these midnight skies
So pull Sayed into your endless blue
And take me deeper than I ever knew
I’ve been wandering out there for so long
But right here in your arms is where I belong
Oh, you’re the rising tide against my skin
A steady rhythm that I can’t ignore
I open up and let the water in
Forever now, you're pulling me to shore
