Slowly Dry
Style: Synth ballad

[Verse 1]
I walked out early, half awake
Still I felt you everywhere I stood
The tide came in and took the day
But some things don't wash off for good

[Pre-chorus]
I try to hold what won't stay still
Try to keep the warmth before it's gone
But you were never mine to hold

[Chorus]
Alina, you're the mark that stays
Long after the water's had its turn
Some love fades like the evening sun
And some love, Alina, just won't burn

[Verse 2]
You left before the light came up
Careful not to wake me from the dream
But I felt you leaving all the same
Soft as sand gives under anything

[Pre-chorus]
I try to hold what won't stay still
Try to keep the warmth before it's gone
But you were never mine to hold

[Chorus]
Alina, you're the mark that stays
Long after the water's had its turn
Some love fades like the evening sun
And some love, Alina, just won't burn

[Bridge]
Maybe nothing lasts the way we plan
Maybe that was never really true
Still I'd walk that shore a hundred times
Just to find the proof that I loved you

[Chorus]
Alina, you're the mark that stays
Long after the water's had its turn
Some love fades like the evening sun
And some love, Alina, just won't burn

[Outro]
The tide comes in, the tide goes out
I'm still standing where you used to be
