(Verse 1:)

We traced the sunsets, salt-kissed and barefoot,

Palm shadows dancing, the world in our hands.

You taught me phrases in rhythms of island tongues,

We laughed through markets where spices command.

 

Treasures we found in the driftwood and coral,

Shared mango sweetness, the juice on our skin.

Nights wrapped in firelight, stories and folklore,

The ocean hummed low as the stars leaned in.

 

(Pre-Chorus)

Oh, time’s just a wave now, slipping to shore,

But I still feel the warmth of those days we outran.

 

(Chorus)

We were the fireflies in the balmy dark,

Two souls colliding like tides in the spark.

Chasing horizons where the blue never ends,

Back when the summer was ours to spend.

Oh, the sand remembers, the waves still call,

Every shell whispers, “We had it all.”...

 

(Verse 2)  

Danced under moonlight to steel drum serenades, 

Your smile outshone every lantern’s gold glow.

We tasted freedom in coconut and limeade,

Let the rain pour as we wandered slow.

 

Tuk-tuk rides buzzing through neon-lit alleyways,

You dared me to try every flavor in sight.

We mapped the coastline in footprints and forgave

The tides for stealing our castles each night.

 

(Pre-Chorus)

Oh, time’s just a wave now, slipping to shore,

But I still taste the salt of the dreams we outran.

 

(Chorus)

We were the fireflies in the balmy dark,

Two souls colliding like tides in the spark.

Chasing horizons where the blue never ends,

Back when the summer was ours to spend.

Oh, the sand remembers, the waves still call,

Every shell whispers, “We had it all.”...

 

(Bridge:)

Now years drift like sailboats, but I close my eyes—

There’s your laugh in the seagulls, your light in the skyline.

We were young, we were reckless, we were innocent gold,

A story the tropics forever will hold.

 

(Outro:)

Oh-oh, we had it all…

All... All... All...

Oh-oh, the tides of us…
