Untitled

[Verse 1]
I was fifteen by the pier
With a duffel and a borrowed coat
My mama said, "Boy, stay near"
But the tide had other notes

The ferryman lit a match
On a map that smelled like rain
He said, "If you want out fast
There’s a boat leaving at noon again"

[Pre-Chorus]
And I watched those ropes pull tight
I watched the harbor shake
Something in me snapped that night
I couldn’t stay

[Chorus]
Harbor of tomorrow
Take me far away
Harbor of tomorrow
I’m done with yesterday
Tie me to the mast
Let the foam write my name
Harbor of tomorrow
I’m gone with the wave (gone with the wave)

[Verse 2]
We crossed past a row of lights
And a storm line split the sky
Crewman laughed in the pouring white
Said, "Every man gets one last try"

I kept my hands on the rail
When the deck began to climb
I could hear my old life fail
Like a chain slipping off the side

[Pre-Chorus]
And the wind hit hard and clean
Like it knew my secret too
I’d been waiting underneath
For something new

[Chorus]
Harbor of tomorrow
Take me far away
Harbor of tomorrow
I’m done with yesterday
Tie me to the mast
Let the foam write my name
Harbor of tomorrow
I’m gone with the wave (gone with the wave)

[Bridge]
When the black water opened wide
I saw my boyhood fade
Saw the shore with its rusted signs
Saw the promises I’d made

Then the dawn came breaking slow
Gold on the sleeping sea
And I knew I had to go
To find the part of me

[Final Chorus]
Harbor of tomorrow
Take me far away
Harbor of tomorrow
I’m done with yesterday
Tie me to the mast
Let the foam write my name
Harbor of tomorrow
I’m gone with the wave (gone with the wave)

Harbor of tomorrow
I’m not the boy I was
Harbor of tomorrow
I followed the pull of love
Tie me to the mast
Let the sea know my claim
Harbor of tomorrow
I’m gone with the wave (gone with the wave)
