lyrics

When we rocked on the water
Looking out to sea
How’d it get to be morning?
Hold my hand a little longer

When we rocked on the water
Hadn’t slept for days
Glasses raised to hold back morning
If we could keep the sun down

She’s coming up now
She’s coming up now
She’s coming up now
Now
She’s coming up now
She’s coming up now
She’s coming up now

When we told our secrets
Whispered to the dawn
Leaning back against the railing
Nothing left to hold back

She’s coming up now
She’s coming up now
She’s coming up now
Now
She’s coming up now
She’s coming up now
She’s coming up now

She’s coming up now
She’s coming up now
She’s coming up now
Now
She’s coming up now
She’s coming up now
She’s coming up now

When we rocked on the water
We remembered we are free
Keep following the dream
A warning
Hold them safe till I come back
