Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I walk through the doorway one last time,
sand still on the floor,
the air thick with salt and quiet.
Rhys is on his balcony,
half a smile, half a wave —
I shout something dumb,
he just laughs and says, “drive safe.”
I pause at the door,
look around once more,
take in the jetty, the house,
the trees leaning in like they know me.
Keys in the ignition,
radio low,
the house shrinking in the mirror.
Yeahhhh…
[Pre-Chorus – soft build]
Yeahhhh… feels like it’s saying,
“don’t go.”
[Chorus – violin swells, soft drums kick in]
🎶 In my car as I leave…
woahhhhh, ohhhhh, ohhhhh,
Cabbage Tree Point, that’s where I leave.
Yeahhhhh, ohhhhh, ohhhhh,
The tide still pulls on what’s left of me.
🎶 Maybe I won’t come back next week,
maybe the sea will forget my name.
But Cabbage Tree Point, yeahhhh ohhhhh,
that’s where I leave.
[Verse 2]
Drive past the servo,
no KFC this time,
just a half-warm beer
and thoughts I can’t unwind.
The jetty fades in the rear-view,
boats like ghosts in the sun.
The road hums a song I almost know —
a slow goodbye to everyone.
