Lyrics
"Ferry leaves at nine." I check the time, I don't move Sand on your knees and salt in your braids You say, "We should go," then nobody says a thing We just watch the light drop slow off the reef Horn blows twice from the end of the beach You say, "Malik, that's us," and you squeeze my wrist I say, "Five more minutes," and we both know what this is Boat lights pulling out, getting smaller and gold You laugh at me like you knew it all along I could run, I could make it if I tried But I'd rather miss the boat than miss the night Let the last ferry go Let it pull out slow We can wave from the sand, act like we didn't know Let the last ferry go Got nowhere to be Every light on the water, and you next to me Let the last ferry go Your sister texting, "Where y'all at?" You send her the sunset and that's that We find a little spot with a string of lights Old man on guitar playing island songs all night You borrow my shirt when the wind turns cool You say, "You planned this," I say, "Maybe I knew" I could run, I could make it if I tried But I'd rather miss the boat than miss the night Let the last ferry go Let it pull out slow We can wave from the sand, act like we didn't know Let the last ferry go Got nowhere to be Every light on the water, and you next to me Let the last ferry go First boat's at six I won't set an alarm Let the morning find us Right where we are Horn in the morning We'll go when we're ready
