Austin Lucas Shallow Inland Sea Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I must have been asleep
Somewhere in the shallow inland sea
Amongst the rustling leaves
Of Tulip Poplar trees
You came to be next to me
Carried in by the warm summer breeze
Together like I'd always hoped to be
Somewhere in the shallow inland sea

[Chorus]
Oh what a dream I had when I was young
What a dream it was: To proudly die for love
Where do they go, the dreams of the young?

[Verse 2]
Salt and smell of sweat
Both lingered on our flesh
Was the closest thing to clothing that we owned
And you smiled a perfect crescent As I slipped inside your birthday wedding gown
You opened like a book
I committed every word to memory
Then I set fire to all the pages
Through the ashes in the shallow inland sea
[Chorus]
Oh what a dream I had when I was young
What a dream it was: To proudly die for love
Where do they go?
Oh what a dream I had when I was young
What a dream it was: To proudly die for love
Where do they go, the dreams of the young?

[Outro]
I must've been asleep
Somewhere in the shallow inland sea
