Verse 1
[soft piano, airy pads, distant ambience]
Counting waves as the daylight falls,
Another night with the radio on.
Every harbor light says “not tonight,”
Even the stars feel out of line.
Seagulls crying like they know my name,
Like they feel what I can’t say.
I’m still here where the water sleeps,
Holding on to the in-between.
Pre-Chorus
[gentle rise, pulse begins]
I’m trying not to break apart,
Talking to the open dark.
If love is something you can hear,
I’m sending mine from here.
Chorus
[melodic, emotional — sets up the drop]
My love’s an anchor, hold on tight,
Through the restless days, the endless nights.
I’m still here waiting—
Oooh—
I’m still here waiting, faithful.
Mm—
Faithful and true—
Oooh—
I’m still waiting,
Waiting by the sea for you.
Oooh—
By the sea for you.
Verse 2
[beat minimal, vocal intimate]
I miss the way your eyes find mine,
Like every look says “I’m home” in time.
I miss your scent, I miss your sound,
The way my world slows when you’re around.
Every second stretches thin,
When I don’t know where you’ve been.
Time stands still, then pulls me through,
Every road still leads to you.
Pre-Chorus 2
[lift, brighter chords]
The moon lays out a silver line,
Across the waves, a glowing sign.
Like it’s whispering soft and low—
“This is how you’ll make it home.”
Chorus
[repeat, fuller harmonies]
My love’s an anchor, hold on tight,
Through the restless days, the endless nights.
I’m still here waiting—
Oooh—
I’m still here waiting, faithful.
Mm—
Faithful and true—
Oooh—
I’m still waiting,
Waiting by the sea for you.
Oooh—
By the sea for you.
Bridge / Breakdown
[Strip back — piano, breath, emotional pause]
I don’t need forever plans,
Or promises written in sand.
All I need is you right here,
Cutting through my doubt and fear.
If the storm is loud tonight,
Just hold on, follow the light.
Through the dark, through the blue,
I’ll stay right here waiting for you.
[Final Chorus / Drop, full-style lift — euphoric but emotional]
My love’s an anchor, hold on tight,
We’ll survive the waves, we’ll outrun the night.
I’m still here waiting—
Oooh—
I’m still here waiting, faithful.
Mm—
Faithful and true—
Oooh—
I’m still waiting,
Waiting by the sea for you.
Oooh—
By the sea for you.
Outro
[instrumental tail, vocal echoes]
Still waiting…
By the sea…
For you…
Tonenico
