Lyrics
Calling, hearing, singing songs that are made of longing dreaming away
Trying, clinging, holding, tightly until my hands grow weary and lay it down
Things don't really seem to change, am I standing in my own way?
You say it's where I'm meant to be
but is it where I'm meant to stay, meant to stay?
You say you want me to be free,
but do I throw my dreams away, dreams away?
I'm holding onto hope in what I want to see my only life become
You say it's where I'm meant to be
but is it where I'm meant to stay, meant to stay?
Ocean, glistening, twinkling breathing it in beholding all within my view
Breakers chase me, I run, looking over my shoulder, drawn and fearful too
Distance keeps me safe, but I feel the wanting in the waves
Move me, push me out, watch me go
From the comfort of what I know
Move me push me out, watch me go
From the comfort of what I know
You say it's where I'm meant to be
it isn't where I'm meant to stay, meant to stay
You say you want me to be free,
and that the choice is mine to make
