(Verse 1)

Ocean breeze, midnight sky,

Hands were shaking, don’t know why.

Had the words all memorized,

But they vanished when I saw your eyes.

I tried to play it cool, but girl, you know me —

Heart on my sleeve, beating way too loudly.

Reaching for the ring like it weighed a ton,

I swear I almost lost it to the waves below us.

(Pre-Chorus)

But you laughed, pulled me close,

Said “Babe, what’s wrong?” like you already know.

And somehow the world slowed down,

Till it was just us now…

(Chorus)

Right before I fell into the ocean,

I fell even deeper into you.

Yeah, my hands were shakin’, my heart was racin’,

But you smiled and you pulled me through.

I almost dropped forever in the water,

But forever landed in your yes.

’Cause girl, you caught me —

Right before I fell.

(Verse 2)

Sunrise paintin’ gold on the deck,

You’re laughing sayin’, “Nik, you’re a mess.”

But you held me, kissed my forehead light,

Said, “Baby, you did everything right.”

Now everywhere we walk feels like a first dance,

Like God took that moment and gave us a second chance.

And looking at you now, I know it’s true —

Almost losing that ring just led me straight to you.

(Pre-Chorus)

’Cause you laughed, pulled me close,

Turned my panic into something I’ll never outgrow.

And somehow the world slowed down,

Till it was just us now…

(Chorus)

Right before I fell into the ocean,

I fell even deeper into you.

Yeah, my hands were shakin’, my heart was racin’,

But you smiled and you pulled me through.

I almost dropped forever in the water,

But forever landed in your yes.

’Cause girl, you caught me —

Right before I fell.

(Bridge)

Maybe love is messy, maybe love is wild,

Maybe it’s almost losin’ the ring,

But still gettin’ the girl and her smile.

Now I’m holdin’ your hand,

Promisin’ the rest of my life,

Thankful for that moment

On the edge of the night…

(Final Chorus)

Right before I fell into the ocean,

I fell even deeper into you.

Every fear I had just melted

When you whispered, “Baby, I do.”

I almost dropped forever in the water,

But forever landed in your yes.

And I’m still fallin’ —

But now it’s heaven I’m fallin’ into.

(Outro)

Yeah, you saved me,

Right before I fell.

Now forever’s where we sail.
