Lyrics
[Verse 1] Montreal in winter light, the court calls out my name Shoes on hardwood, breath in cloud, I show up every day Friends around the kitchen table, laughing without cause Something easy in the living, something worth the pause [Pre-Chorus] And when the city gets too loud inside my chest I follow the salt air south, I follow what I know is best [Chorus] Saint Barth in the afternoon, the ocean pulls me under slow Every wave a letting go, every tide a way back home I carry roots above the water, carry all the weight of where I'm from Lithuania runs beneath me, deeper than the undertow and then some [Verse 2] Vilnius in the golden dusk, the old stones know my face Something in the mother tongue puts everything in place The Baltic wind remembers me before I knew myself I breathe it in like something borrowed, laid back on the shelf [Pre-Chorus] And when the distance starts to feel like it could swallow me whole I find the thread that runs between the borders of my soul [Chorus] Saint Barth in the afternoon, the ocean pulls me under slow Every wave a letting go, every tide a way back home I carry roots above the water, carry all the weight of where I'm from Lithuania runs beneath me, deeper than the undertow and then some [Bridge] France gave me the language of a softer kind of ache England gave me edges I was proud enough to take Canada gave me the rhythm of a wave that doesn't break But Lithuania gave me soil and everything at stake So I drift between the coastlines like I always knew I would And every place has held me, held me longer than it should [Chorus] Saint Barth in the afternoon, the ocean pulls me under slow Every wave a letting go, every tide a way back home I carry roots above the water, carry all the weight of where I'm from Lithuania runs beneath me, deeper than the undertow and then some [Outro] Montreal to the Baltic Sea Every shore has pieces of me I float, I sink, I find the ground I'm always lost, I'm always found
