Lyrics and Hawaiian Gloss
[Verse 1]
Moonlight spills across the water like liquid pearl
Trade winds carry the scent of night-blooming pua
Your shoulder catches silver, my fingers follow slow
Every breath you give me is a secret the ocean already knows
[Pre-Chorus]
No need to rush the tide…
It knows exactly where we hide
Let the night lean in, soft and low
We've got nowhere else to go
[Chorus]
This is a slow-burn island night
Skin tracing skin in the silver light
Waves keep the time, gentle and sure
Pulling us deeper than words ever could
Hele mai… closer still
Till the whole world is quiet and filled
With you… with me… with the sea
[Verse 2]
I feel the warmth rising where your hand rests low
Like the glow of koa embers that refuse to let go
Salt on your neck tastes like tomorrow's rain
And every kiss is a promise we'll find this again
[Pre-Chorus]
The stars are too shy to watch
So they hide behind clouds that drift and touch
Just the moon and the trade winds know
How softly a heart can let itself go
[Chorus]
This is a slow-burn island night
Skin tracing skin in the silver light
Waves keep the time, gentle and sure
Pulling us deeper than words ever could
Hele mai… closer still
Till the whole world is quiet and filled
With you… with me… with the sea
[Bridge]
Listen… can you hear it?
The ocean breathing with us…
E hoʻi mai kāua… right here… right now…
[Chorus – final, slower]
This is our slow-burn island night
Drifting together till morning light
When the trade winds carry us home
We'll still taste the moonlight on our own
Hele mai… one more time
Till the whole world disappears in the tide
Just you… just me… and the sea…
[Outro]
Just you… just me…
And the sea…
And the sea…
Moonlight spills across the water like liquid pearl
Trade winds carry the scent of night-blooming pua
Your shoulder catches silver, my fingers follow slow
Every breath you give me is a secret the ocean already knows
[Pre-Chorus]
No need to rush the tide…
It knows exactly where we hide
Let the night lean in, soft and low
We've got nowhere else to go
[Chorus]
This is a slow-burn island night
Skin tracing skin in the silver light
Waves keep the time, gentle and sure
Pulling us deeper than words ever could
Hele mai… closer still
Till the whole world is quiet and filled
With you… with me… with the sea
[Verse 2]
I feel the warmth rising where your hand rests low
Like the glow of koa embers that refuse to let go
Salt on your neck tastes like tomorrow's rain
And every kiss is a promise we'll find this again
[Pre-Chorus]
The stars are too shy to watch
So they hide behind clouds that drift and touch
Just the moon and the trade winds know
How softly a heart can let itself go
[Chorus]
This is a slow-burn island night
Skin tracing skin in the silver light
Waves keep the time, gentle and sure
Pulling us deeper than words ever could
Hele mai… closer still
Till the whole world is quiet and filled
With you… with me… with the sea
[Bridge]
Listen… can you hear it?
The ocean breathing with us…
E hoʻi mai kāua… right here… right now…
[Chorus – final, slower]
This is our slow-burn island night
Drifting together till morning light
When the trade winds carry us home
We'll still taste the moonlight on our own
Hele mai… one more time
Till the whole world disappears in the tide
Just you… just me… and the sea…
[Outro]
Just you… just me…
And the sea…
And the sea…
