Sam Eckert - Back To Carolina Lyrics

Cold February days turned to warm summer nights in the presence of your overwhelming light
Found love under Charleston County skies, but the stars on folly beach, girl they're jealous of your eyes

But now its just a hope, trapped in restless ebb and flow
That your free and wild soul will find me further down the road

I go back to Carolina in my mind
Just chasing waves, riding down coastlines, killing time to feel alive
And I know that our whole future fell apart
Just needed you to know those fading tail lights weren't my heart

Funny how one little moment builds forever in your mind,
You were a glowing rise of color making way for daylight
Was it crazy for a beat up man like me to think a love drunk college kiss could be tomorrow's diamond ring

I wish I didn't know, how to fall in love with hope
That your free and wild soul will find me further down the road

I go back to Carolina in my mind
Just chasing waves, riding down coastlines, killing time to feel alive
And I know that our whole future fell apart
Just needed you to know those fading tail lights weren't my heart

If you need me I'm around, this little coastal town, somewhere farther south
Trying not to drown, as rising tides are coming up
And the sunsets going down
