[Intro]

[Verse 1]
When the seashells crumbled in your hand
You looked up at me
And the sand shifting underneath your feet
Softened for you, and incredibly
The sun went through from the sky
I was certain I was going to cry

[Chorus]
Then you reached up and you reached out
We'd been staring at the water all day
And then you touched me, you were golden
You were giving the game away

[Verse 2]
When the sand crabs ran across your face
You didn't even twitch
And a soft scent came across the water
Impossibly rich
Impossibly cold
We were just nineteen years old

[Chorus]
And then you reached up, you reached out
We'd been staring at the water all day
And then you touched me, you were golden
You were giving the game away
[Outro]
