Ocean Between My Words

[Verse 1]
You talk in rushing rivers
I answer with my eyes
Every word gets stuck like seaweed
Caught between my teeth and tides
Fingers on the table tapping
Counting patterns in your sleeve
Every little sound feels thunder
But underwater I can breathe
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m right here
On your shore
Heart’s so loud
But my mouth won’t open
[Chorus]
There’s an ocean between my words
But I’m swimming
I’m swimming to you
Every wave in my chest
Is a message I never get through
If you feel the water move
That’s me reaching
That’s me too
There’s an ocean between my words
But I’m swimming
I’m swimming to you
[Verse 2]
Bright room feels like breaking glass
Light is needles in my skin
Handshakes
Voices
Buzzing wires
I shrink smaller than a pin
But drop me in the deep blue quiet
Where the noise just falls away
I can spin with silver shadows
Say a thousand things in spray
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m right here
Underneath
Hear my pulse
In the pull of the current
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] If you could hear the storm inside
The roaring calm below my eyes
I’m not silent
I’m just waves
Crashing softly
Out of phase
[falsetto echo] I’m not broken
I’m just blue
Built of water
Running true
[Chorus]

pop, Shimmering alt-pop with glassy synth arps, watery pads, and a pulsing sidechain bass. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, breaths and tiny vocal details forward; pre-chorus builds with filtered drums and rising pads. Chorus opens wide with stacked harmonies, vocal chops that feel like splashes, and a steady four-on-the-floor kick. Bridge strips to pads and distant toms, then final chorus hits with extra ad-libs and a bright top-line synth doubling the hook. Male vocals., light
