Verse 1
[soft piano, very sparse, maybe light strings or ocean ambiance]
Counting waves…
The sun goes down…
Another night… another lonely sound.
Every harbor light… feels like a no…
The seagulls cry… like they know…
I’m waiting for you… to come back home.
I just sit… where the tide holds still.
[Pre-Chorus (slightly rising piano, soft pedal notes]
Trying not to break…
I’m asking… in the blue…
If love’s a signal…
I’m sending mine to you…
[Chorus (let every word linger, fragile vocal]
My love’s an anchor… hold on tight…
Through the breaking days…
And the endless nights…
I’m still here waiting…
Uuuuuuuuu…
I’m still here waiting… faithful…
Mmmm…
Faithful and true…
Uuuuuuuuu…
I’m still waiting…
Waiting by the sea for you…
Uuuuuuuu…
(By the sea for you…)
[Verse 2 (slow, delicate phrasing, emotional micro-pauses]
I miss your body… when your eyes find mine…
Like they’re saying… “I’m home,”
Every single time…
I miss your smell… I miss your voice…
The way you say… I am your all…
Time slows down…
Whenever you are near…
Pre-Chorus
The moon lays down a path…
Across the waves…
Like it’s… uuuuuu…
Showing you the way…
[Chorus (repeat, intimate, allow each note to linger]
My love’s an anchor… hold on tight…
Through the breaking days…
And the endless nights…
I’m still here waiting…
Uuuuuuuuu…
I’m still here waiting… faithful…
Mmmm…
Faithful and true…
Uuuuuuuuu…
I’m still waiting…
Waiting by the sea for you…
Uuuuuuuu…
(By the sea for you…)
[Bridge / Breakdown (very stripped down, only piano + breathy vocal, fragile]
I don’t need more than you and me…
No promises… no sign…
All I really need… is you by my side…
If the storm gets loud… don’t ever let go…
Through the dark… through the cold…
I’ll be here… waiting for you to come home…
[Final Chorus / Outro (sustain every note, very fragile]
My love’s an anchor… hold on tight…
Through the breaking days…
And the endless nights…
I’m still here waiting…
Uuuuuuuuu…
I’m still here waiting… faithful…
Mmmm…
Faithful and true…
Uuuuuuuuu…
I’m still waiting…
Waiting by the sea for you…
Uuuuuuuu…
(By the sea for you…)
