Salt on the Rail
Style: Indie folk

[Verse 1]
You lean on the rail beside me
salt drying white where your hand rests
the engines keep on turning under us
and I feel steadier with you at my side than most

[Chorus]
Felix, the deck is shaking under our feet
but I'm not holding on for balance
Felix, I'm holding on for you
this is the steadiest I've been

[Verse 2]
You don't say much when the water's rough
just stand there letting the spray hit
and somehow that's enough for me
the quiet way you never quit

[Pre-chorus]
I've loved you in louder places
I've loved you when the sea was still
but out here it's clearer than it's ever been

[Chorus]
Felix, the deck is shaking under our feet
but I'm not holding on for balance
Felix, I'm holding on for you
this is the steadiest I've been

[Bridge]
Whatever this crossing turns out to be
I already know I'd choose it twice
salt on the rail, your hand on mine
that's the only kind of proof I need

[Chorus]
Felix, the deck is shaking under our feet
but I'm not holding on for balance
Felix, I'm holding on for you
this is the steadiest I've been

[Outro]
The salt will dry and wash off again
but I'll still be standing here with you
