  • There's still so far to go and I can't feel my toes
    When the rain soaks through the heels and slips to the sole
    Yeah, the blades are two feet tall
    I wade in green, I'm moving forward, to where? God only knows
    Feel the wind's harsh refrain like the clouds gripped my face
    Saying, "It's alright to run from all this pain"
    Oh, and when it's time to go with one last breath that's in my lungs
    I'll scream, "It's all for love"
    I'll scream, "It's all for love"

    Come and kiss me, salt water
    Oh, finally, I feel, at three or four degrees
    I'm free in salt water
    Embrace the deep and leave everything
    It was just a dream

    I can see it up ahead where the sky meets the ground
    And after that, there's only moving gray
    I am filled up with regret
    With things I did or never said, just leave that well alone

    And come kiss me, salt water
    Oh, finally, I feel, at three or four degrees
    I'm free in salt water
    Embrace the deep and leave everything
    It was just a dream

    It was just a dream
    It was just a dream
    It was just a dream
    Was it just a dream?

    Now I'm standing on the edge, gazing into hell
    Or is it somethin' else? I just can't tell
    When there's nothin' left, I close my eyes and take one step
    Say, "Well, here it goes", I'll say, "Well, here it goes"

    Come and kiss me, salt water
    Oh, finally, I feel, at three or four degrees
    I'm free in salt water
    Embrace the deep and leave everything
    It was just a dream Writer/s: Aaron Brooking Dessner, Edward Christopher Sheeran
