Verse 1
I was pulling pints from a London bus
Parked up where the ocean meets the land
You walked in with the summer on your shoulders
Didn’t know my whole life changed right then
Parked up where the ocean meets the land
You walked in with the summer on your shoulders
Didn’t know my whole life changed right then
I wiped the same table three times over
Asked questions I already knew
Just finding excuses to stay close
Every road I took led back to you
Asked questions I already knew
Just finding excuses to stay close
Every road I took led back to you
Pre-Chorus
I said “maybe we’ll swim in the morning”
Yeah, I messed that one up, that’s true
But love don’t always start at sunrise
Sometimes it waits till the evening finds you
Yeah, I messed that one up, that’s true
But love don’t always start at sunrise
Sometimes it waits till the evening finds you
Chorus
Oh Bubs, you saved me on August eighteenth
When you called and said “come out tonight”
Missed the sea, but I found my forever
In the glow of a coastal light
When you called and said “come out tonight”
Missed the sea, but I found my forever
In the glow of a coastal light
From a bus bar dream to a fairytale ending
Every wrong turn led me home
Yeah Bubs, you’re the love of my life
And I’ll never stand alone
Every wrong turn led me home
Yeah Bubs, you’re the love of my life
And I’ll never stand alone
Verse 2
Met you later with Caroline laughing
You said “save me,” I heard my cue
One drink turned into a lifetime
Every promise somehow came true
You said “save me,” I heard my cue
One drink turned into a lifetime
Every promise somehow came true
Southbourne mornings, Layla’s smile
Bodie running wild on the shore
Then Christchurch just down the road now
Somehow I love you even more
Bodie running wild on the shore
Then Christchurch just down the road now
Somehow I love you even more
Pre-Chorus 2
I was cleaning tables, chasing moments
Didn’t know what I was reaching for
Now I wake up beside my reason
With muddy paws by the door
Didn’t know what I was reaching for
Now I wake up beside my reason
With muddy paws by the door
Chorus
Oh Bubs, you saved me on August eighteenth
When you called and said “come out tonight”
Missed the sea, but I found my forever
In the glow of a coastal light
When you called and said “come out tonight”
Missed the sea, but I found my forever
In the glow of a coastal light
From a bus bar dream to a fairytale ending
Every wrong turn led me home
Yeah Bubs, you’re the love of my life
And I’ll never stand alone
Every wrong turn led me home
Yeah Bubs, you’re the love of my life
And I’ll never stand alone
I was just a man behind the counter
You saw more than I could see
Now every road, every shoreline
Is wherever you’re with me
You saw more than I could see
Now every road, every shoreline
Is wherever you’re with me
Final Chorus
Oh Bubs, you saved me on August eighteenth
And you do it every day
With Layla’s laugh and Bodie’s heartbeat
You showed me a better way
And you do it every day
With Layla’s laugh and Bodie’s heartbeat
You showed me a better way
From a bus bar dream to a fairytale ending
Salt in the air, love in my hands
Yeah Bubs, you’re the love of my life
My girl, my home, my plans
Salt in the air, love in my hands
Yeah Bubs, you’re the love of my life
My girl, my home, my plans
Outro
So if I ever miss the tide again
Or lose the words I want to say
Just know I’ll always show up for you
Every single day
Or lose the words I want to say
Just know I’ll always show up for you
Every single day
