My Heart's at Sea

[Intro: foghorn, shimmering arpeggios]
(oh-oh, far away)
[Deep rolling 808]

[Verse 1: melodic low-register groove]
I built a tower on a rocky shore
A steady light through every storm
The ships come home because I'm here
And all the people I hold dear
(stay safe, stay safe)

[Pre-Chorus: falsetto ascent]
But when the sails catch evening gold
I envy everything they hold

[Chorus: expansive harmonies]
I'm a lighthouse dreaming of the sea
Anchored to the life that's good to me
I can see the world but cannot go
And I love this shore more than they'll know
(oh-oh, let me sail!)
How can something built to shine
Still wish for another life?

[Drop: chopped choir, rolling bass]
(sail-sail, stay-stay!)
(boom-ka-tss, ah-ee-ah!)

[Bridge: stripped, emotional]
If I could leave, who'd find their way?
If I remain, what fades away?
There's no horizon I can chase
Without abandoning this place

[Outro: distant falsetto]
My light is bright...
My heart's at sea.
