VERSE
I grew up where the ocean meets the road
Salt in the air, same faces I’ve always known
Every street feels smaller every year
Big dreams in my head, but they don’t fit here
PRE-CHORUS
They say slow down, stay in line
But my heart keeps racing every night
I can feel it under my skin
There’s more than this place I’m living in
BRIDGE
I hear the waves calling my name
I won’t drown in the safe and the same
I’m standing right at the edge now
Ready to break out
CHORUS
This town is too small for the fire in my soul
Too quiet for the dreams I’ve always known
I won’t apologize for wanting more
I was made for a world beyond this shore
BRIDGE
Beyond this shore
Beyond this shore
VERSE
Late nights staring at the northern lights
Thinking about a future just out of sight
I love this place, but it can’t hold me down
I’m grateful for the roots, but I need new ground
PRE-CHORUS
Every doubt just fuels the flame
I won’t let fear decide my name
I carry home wherever I go
But I won’t let it stop my growth
BRIDGE
I hear my heartbeat in the sound
Of every step beyond this town
If I don’t try, I’ll never know
So I’m letting go
CHORUS
This town is too small for the fire in my soul
Too quiet for the dreams I’ve always known
I won’t apologize for wanting more
I was made for a world beyond this shore
CHORUS
Hands up, lights down, I’m not afraid
From west coast nights to brighter days
I’ll take my past and aim for the sky
This town shaped me — but it won’t define my life
OUTRO
Beyond this shore
I’m finally sure
