Fast Water

FAST WATER feels like a night moving faster than you expected.

Two people follow the same route without ever quite moving at the same pace. Salt in the air, harbor lights on wet pavement, reflections breaking across the water, a glance over the shoulder, a hand finding another for just a moment.

The song lives in that space where something is already happening, but neither person needs to define it. No promises, no map, no dramatic declaration. Just movement, distance, attraction, and the sense that whatever this is might look different by morning.

There is tension in the space between them, but also freedom. One stays slightly ahead, the other keeps following. Sometimes they fall into step. Sometimes they drift apart again.

FAST WATER is about letting a moment exist without asking too much of it.

One step. Then another.

Lyrics

Salt in the air
Bass from the terrace

You laugh once
I miss my cue

You take the side road
I follow the sound

No grand entrance
Just catching up

You move before the kick
Leave space where I expect it

I know that feeling
I do it too

Keep one step ahead
Fast water, pull me through

No promise at the railing
Just move when the snare cuts

Stay one step ahead
Fast water, pull me through

If morning changes anything
We'll meet it when it comes

Fast-
Water

Pull-
Through

Fast-
Water

You don't ask where this goes
I don't offer a map

We cross beside the harbor
Without making it heavy

A scooter turns uphill
Somebody cheers below

You catch the next downbeat
I catch you looking back

Maybe it stays small
Maybe that's enough

One clean hour
Moving at full speed

No future speech
No dramatic ending

Just your hand
Finding mine briefly

Keep one step ahead
Fast water, pull me through

No promise at the railing
Just move when the snare cuts

Now I'm one step ahead
Fast water, follow through

Whatever morning changes
We already had the run

One step
Then another
