Fossil
Stayed up all night thinking by the ocean
I’ve only ever seen this sunrise on a postcard
Across the pond the pubs must be getting busy
And up the coast, you’re wakin up alone in the city

All the days come dancing off the water
Waking up the shadows and the lovers
Riding on the back of a wave on the tip of time
That’s the day I came out here to find

I’m out here lookin for the fossil
Of the day I met you
I wanna hold it in my hand
And feel how little we knew
And how much we wanted to

Maybe if the tide never rose and never fell
I’d be lookin for the ocean in a shell
But I’m studying the color of the cliffs I’ve never known
Where the days just disappear into stone
