The Candlelights - Sea Glass Lyrics

All the rocks on this shore
Were mountain breadcrumbs before
We've been taught "to beach comb"
Means picking up a neat stone
I would rather ignore
Detritus on the floor

Mixed with shells and salt brine
Are shards of sea glass, supine
Emerald, turquoise, teal scales
Broken off mermaid tails
No app exists to find
Treasures on the shoreline

You say you're scared
You'll end up hurting me
Fear not, dear one
You can't unless I choose

Be what you are
I want your truth to shine
You're my sea glass
I did not swipe to find you
I did not swipe to find you

Tally all the heartaches
Keep track, keep score, keep safe
Hide behind your tough talk
Wax years drip off the clock
Fear is not what love makes
The sea gives what it takes

Sea glass cuts your heartstrings
Ties to trivial things
Flotsam piled on the beach
Keeps water out of reach
Love the act of hunting
More than all your wantings

You say you're scared
You'll end up hurting me
Fear not, dear one,
You can't unless I choose

Be what you are
I want your truth to shine
You're my sea glass
I did not swipe to find you
I did not swipe to find you

All the rocks on this shore
Were mountain breadcrumbs before
Wonders live in each stone
A geologic unknown
I pick through the sand floor
Sifting cuz I want more
