Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pulled in with a duffel bag
Sand in the floorboard
Just me and the day
Trying to start over
The tide looked calm
Like it didn’t know my name
I came to get right
And leave lighter than I came
[Pre-Chorus]
First drink, first breath
Salt on my skin
Thought I could wash out
Where I’ve been
Then I saw you
By the blue pool bar
And there went my plan
Gone before it got far
[Chorus]
What the ocean don’t fix
Margaritas will
What the ocean don’t fix
I can make stand still
Sunburn and a smile
That’s my kind of heal
What the ocean don’t fix
Margaritas will
[Verse 2]
You were at the restaurant
Then the shore at noon
Then right by the dock
Like a bad old tune
I kept turning corners
You kept turning up
Everywhere I went
You were the same old stuff
You’re a problem, baby
Still you wear my face
I came here for peace
You came here to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
First drink, first breath
Salt on my skin
Thought I could wash out
Where I’ve been
Then you laughed that laugh
And I knew damn well
Some things the waves won’t take
Some things they won’t help
[Chorus]
What the ocean don’t fix
Margaritas will
What the ocean don’t fix
I can make stand still
Sunburn and a smile
That’s my kind of heal
What the ocean don’t fix
Margaritas will
[Bridge]
Maybe the sea can soothe
What it can’t erase
Maybe I can leave
With a calmer face
If you stay in my way
I’ll just let it be
One more glass, one more mile
One more try at free
[Final Chorus]
What the ocean don’t fix
Margaritas will
What the ocean don’t fix
I can make stand still
Sunburn and a smile
By the end I will
What the ocean don’t fix
Margaritas will
What the ocean don’t fix
Margaritas will
What the ocean don’t fix
Margaritas will
