Lyrics
Verse 1
You said the water looks calm today
But I see the current pulling underneath
Your hands are steady on the wheel
While mine shake against the passenger seat
The radio crackles with weather reports
Static mixing with your breathing
Chorus
Tell me why we keep driving toward the edge
When we both know what's waiting there
Tell me why we keep driving toward the edge
When we both know
Verse 2
The horizon cuts a straight line through your thoughts
I watch you count the waves like heartbeats
Your silence fills the space between us
Heavier than the salt air through the windows
The engine hums its mechanical prayer
While you steer us closer to the drop
Chorus
Tell me why we keep driving toward the edge
When we both know what's waiting there
Tell me why we keep driving toward the edge
When we both know
Bridge
(Why do we)
The tide pulls everything back eventually
(Why do we)
Even the things we thought we'd lost for good
(Why do we)
Your foot presses harder on the gas
Verse 3
I taste the brine before I see the cliff
Your eyes fixed on something I can't name
The waves crash below like applause
For this performance we've rehearsed too many times
You finally turn to look at me
And I see the water in your stare
Final Chorus
Tell me why we keep driving toward the edge
When we both know what's waiting there
Tell me why we keep driving toward the edge
When we both know what's waiting there
When we both know
