Standing naked in the surf,

what did we ever fear?

It meant so much more when it was dusk.

I didn’t need to love you.

I just needed some kindness.

I didn’t know your war stories

but we never had any,

did we?

We fished for some catch to show the town.

I would have caught and released it.

Well, our hopes never mattered.

Standing naked in the surf,

why were we ever afraid?
