"Saltwater Vintage" | A Pop Heartbreak Ballad

The quiet, devastating aftermath of a breakup. "Saltwater Vintage" (aka tears of wine) is a slow, atmospheric ballad that captures the exact feeling of drowning in an ocean of tears. [Verse 1] The ice is melting in the crystal. I’m staring at the reflection of a ghost. I told myself I wouldn’t miss you. But midnight is the time I miss you (most). There’s a stain on the edge of the coaster Where your coffee cup used to rest. Now I'm sitting here pulling you closer. Even though there's nothing left in my chest. [Chorus] And I’m drinking down this saltwater vintage. Pouring all my tears into the glass. I’m trying to forget the way we finished. But the pain is never in the past. Oh, I’m swallowing the ocean, drop by drop. Praying please for the carousel to stop. But the bottom of the glass is just a mirror of my face. Drowning in the emptiness of your empty space. [Verse 2] My friends tell me that I'm looking tired I just tell 'em that I haven't slept But my brain is completely rewired By the promises we made and never kept I still reach for you under the covers Then I wake up to the freezing cold air We went from being soulmates to lovers. To a couple strangers who were never even there. [Chorus] And I’m drinking down this saltwater vintage. Pouring all my tears into the glass. I’m trying to forget the way we finished. But the pain is never in the past. Oh, I’m swallowing the ocean, drop by drop. Praying please for the carousel to stop But the bottom of the glass is just a mirror of my face. Drowning in the emptiness of your empty space.
