Jhea By The Shore

[Verse 1]
I landed in the islands
Salt on my skin
Palm trees bending low
When Jhea pulled me in
We spread out the blanket
Right there in the sand
Fruit on the paper plate
Your hand in my hand
[Pre-Chorus]
And I exhaled slow
Like I found my place
The whole sky opened up
When I saw your face
No fear in my chest
No rush in my feet
Just the tide and us
And that easy heat
[Chorus]
Jhea by the shore
You made me feel safe (Jhea by the shore)
Jhea by the shore
Peace in every wave
I’m right here with you
I’m right here with you (right here with you)
Jhea by the shore
You made me feel safe
[Verse 2]
We laughed over mango
Juice on our wrists
Sand stuck to my shoes
Sun on your lips
Kids ran past us singing
Seabirds circled high
Nothing in the world
Could pull me from that sky
[Pre-Chorus]
And I exhaled slow
Like I found my place
The whole sky opened up
When I saw your face
No fear in my chest
No rush in my feet
Just the tide and us
And that easy heat
[Chorus]
Jhea by the shore
You made me feel safe (Jhea by the shore)
Jhea by the shore
Peace in every wave
I’m right here with you
I’m right here with you (right here with you)
Jhea by the shore
You made me feel safe
[Bridge]
If the road gets rough
I’ll remember this day
Your calm in my chest
Never fades away
Philippines in bloom
And your smile on me
That was all my heart
Needed to be free
[Chorus]
Jhea by the shore
You made me feel safe (Jhea by the shore)
Jhea by the shore
Peace in every wave
I’m right here with you
I’m right here with you (right here with you)
Jhea by the shore
You made me feel safe

R&B smooth with laid-back snap percussion, warm sub pulses, and liquid keys; verse rides close-mic intimate phrasing with finger snaps and soft bass, pre-chorus opens with stacked oohs and a filtered rise, chorus lands on a breezy hook with doubled lead and gentle gang harmonies. Ear candy: tide-swell risers, glassy harp flicks, and delayed ad-libs. Mix is polished, intimate, and sunlit., smooth, r&b
