SLO (Coastal Song)
You told me once—just dreaming
The sky above is no ceiling
You see the stars and I see the clouds
But you and I both have our reasons

You and I started somewhere along the coast
With no borders holding back our hopes
Breathe in, breathe out—
Know I want you most
In this new land we’ll make our home

The coastline in June muted grey
But the blooms all come out in their time
And the love I risked I ran out like a kite line—
Never scarеd to come loose
Why do we pay such closе attention
To our doubts and our second thoughts
While the seabirds roll over waves—
Whipped and wind-tossed—
Making homes where the waves crash

You and I started somewhere along the coast
With no borders holding back our hopes
Breathe in, breathe out—
Know I want you most
In this new land we’ll make our home
You asked me once—just dreaming
And drew me out through the evening
I see your stars and you see my clouds
And you and I both have our reasons
