Discover the story of the song > Salt And The Sea – Gregory Alan Isakov

The lyrics tell the story of a protagonist who was deeply loved by his partner, but he could see that she was hiding her pain and suffering from him. She was scared and alone in her room, praying that someone would leave her alone. The protagonist wants to be there for her again, even if it means being like an enemy, just like the salt and the sea. The doctors and their medicine have not helped the protagonist, leaving him feeling discarded and dirty. But he is willing to be there for his partner, even if she sees him as a villain. He wants to be her friend again, even if it's in the daylight, just like they used to be.
