Lyrics
Verse 1:
Introduction of Verse 1
The other day I went to the beach Where I first met you
Recalling the place where the speaker first met the person
Rocks in my hand, feet in the sand Wondered how we washed away
Reflecting on the past, holding rocks, and standing on the beach, contemplating how the relationship faded away

The other day I heard our song
Hearing a shared song and emotional reaction, crying to a friend

Expressing emotional pain with a song in the background
Ringing in my ears, surrounded by fear Wondered how we came to an end
Feeling surrounded by fear, wondering about the end of the relationship
