"The Clear Blue"
(Verse 1) I used to calculate the storm inside my head Weighing every single word everybody said Trying to be the anchor in somebody else’s sea But I was drowning in the dark, forgetting how to breathe.
(Pre-Chorus) And it used to hurt to say no, used to feel like a crime To put a border on my heart, to claim what is mine But there’s a moment when you speak it, a second of fear And then the noise just fades away... and everything is clear.
(Chorus) Now I’m nightswimming into the deep Holding the promises that I’m gonna keep No more alarms, no more running from the ghosts I’m finally standing where it matters the most. Oh, it’s a brand new horizon, a beautiful view I’m coming back to the clear, clear blue.
(Verse 2) My radar never lied, it knew it all along But I was busy playing safe, trying to be strong I see you out there in the woods, wrestling your pain I wish you peace, I wish you well, but I can’t carry your rain.
(Pre-Chorus) 'Cause it only hurts a second when the boundary is drawn It’s not a weapon in my hand, it’s just the light of the dawn I didn't do it to break you, I did it to heal And for the first time in forever, I know what is real.
(Chorus) Now I’m nightswimming into the deep Holding the promises that I’m gonna keep No more alarms, no more running from the ghosts I’m finally standing where it matters the most. Oh, it’s a brand new horizon, a beautiful view I’m coming back to the clear, clear blue.
(Bridge) It’s overwhelming how quiet it gets When you stop paying everybody else's debts. It’s a shock to the system, a beautiful wave To realize that I am the one I had to save.
(Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break - building up to a crescendo)
(Chorus) Now I’m nightswimming into the deep Holding the promises that I’m gonna keep No more alarms, no more running from the ghosts I’m finally standing where it matters the most. Oh, it’s a brand new horizon, a beautiful view I’m coming back to the clear, clear blue.
(Outro) To the clear blue... No alarms. Just peace. I’m back in the water. And I can breathe.
