Salt and Stars

Vor-tel-la-la-la Kicked off my shoes at the edge of the tide Something was pulling me deep down inside The sun on the water like shattered gold light I breathed in the ocean and lost track of time My feet turn to fins, my hair full of sea Something is changing, I feel free Disappear beneath the waves Wash the golden world away Salt and stars and blue unknown Ocean's where I'm calling home Ocean's where I'm calling home The seagrass is dancing, the starfish agree That girl on the shoreline? She looks just like me But she's fading like foam in the afternoon glow I left her my footprints and let the rest go The world above fading to shimmer and haze I could live underwater the rest of my days Disappear beneath the waves Wash the golden world away Salt and stars and blue unknown Ocean's where I'm calling home Ocean's where I'm calling home Don't wait up, don't worry I'm not lost, I'm just free Living in slow motion Under my ocean Don't cry — come find me Disappear beneath the waves Wash the golden world away Salt and stars and blue unknown Ocean's where I'm calling home Ocean's where I'm calling home Salt on my lips, stars in my hair Breathe out the old life, breathe in the blue air Gone like a wave, but never goodbye Mermaids don't sink, mermaids just fly
