By The Blue

[Verse] I took a flight out just to breathe Left my deadlines somewhere over KL city White shirt, sea breeze, AirPods in Sunlight made my tired face look pretty Old wood ceiling, ocean blue A table by the edge like I was floating I said, “Okay, maybe this is true” Maybe peace is quiet when it’s showing [Pre Chorus] I don’t know when I got this heavy Or when rest became something I had to earn But the sun touched my face so gently Like the world said, “boy, it’s your turn” [Chorus] Here by the blue, I can hear my heart again Not so loud, not so scared, not pretending Sea on silver, sky wide open All my rushing finally bending I’ve been everybody’s media team Temple lights and late-night screens But today I’m just someone under the sun Learning it’s easy to be here When I don’t have to run [Verse] Mint in my drink, sweat on the glass Vegetarian boy on a seafood island I laugh alone and take one more pic Solo trip, but the silence isn’t silent There’s a wheel against my chest Turning softly while the waves keep glowing Dhamma in the middle of my mess Not forcing peace, just slowly knowing [Pre Chorus] Maybe I don’t need a big sign Maybe healing doesn’t have to look profound Maybe life is just this shoreline Me sitting still while the sun goes down [Chorus] Here by the blue, I can hear my heart again Not so loud, not so scared, not pretending Sea on silver, sky wide open All my rushing finally bending I’ve been everybody’s media team Temple lights and late-night screens But today I’m just someone under the sun Learning it’s easy to be here When I don’t have to run [Bridge] Being alone doesn’t feel so lonely Not when the sea keeps holding the light I didn’t run away from my old life I just needed somewhere soft tonight And if I go home different Let it be quiet, not dramatic No big reveal, no movie scene Just me feeling okay and meaning it [Chorus] Here by the blue, I can hear my heart again Not performing, not explaining Sea on silver, sky wide open All my old storms started fading I’ve been chasing proof I’m enough Turning pain into posts and love But today I’m just someone under the sun Learning it’s easy to be here When I don’t have to run [Outro] Sun on my face, salt in the room I found a little peace by the blue No need to rush, no need to prove I came back to myself by the blue
