Verse 1

It's all there in the quiet room
Moonlight on the edge of you
Not much talking, not much need
Just the sound of the sea
We don't fill the space with words
Let the silence do its work
Every second feels slow
Like it already knows

Chorus

It's just salt air, silence between us now
Like the ocean holding the sound
No rush, no reason, no break in the night
Just drifting in and out of light
Soft and silent, steady and slow
Like the tide that already knows
We don't have to say a thing
It's already everything
Everything

Verse 2

Hand closed but not too close
Like we're both afraid to move
But neither one of us minds
The way the moment unwinds

Chorus

It's just salt and silence between us now
Like the ocean holding the sound
No rush, no reason, no break in the night
Just drifting in and out of light
Salt and silence, steady and slow
Like the tide that already knows
We don't have to say a thing
It's already everything

Outro

Let it fade
Let it go

Verse 1

It's all there in the quiet room

Moonlight on the edge of you

Not much talking, not much need

Just the sound of the sea

We don't fill the space with words

Let the silence do its work

Every second feels slow

Like it already knows

Chorus

It's just salt air, silence between us now

Like the ocean holding the sound

No rush, no reason, no break in the night

Just drifting in and out of light

Soft and silent, steady and slow

Like the tide that already knows

We don't have to say a thing

It's already everything

Everything

Verse 2

Like we're both afraid to move

But neither one of us minds

The way the moment unwinds

Chorus

It's just salt and silence between us now

Like the ocean holding the sound

No rush, no reason, no break in the night

Just drifting in and out of light

Salt and silence, steady and slow

Like the tide that already knows

We don't have to say a thing

It's already everything

Let it fade

Generated from the chord chart. These are real guitar shapes for the chords we detected, not a transcription of what was played on the record.
Raw note map (experimental)

This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
