six years ago, I barely remember
now I'm here two weeks and I feel like staying forever
cause it feels like home here
the air it whispers in my ears
telling me the things I've been dying to hear
and asking me
can we get closer?
I want to know you better
waking up
I feel light as a feather
I breathe in the sun and the air
cause we belong together
it's so much clearer here
the ocean sent me waves of love and fear
it knew I hadn't felt this happily scared in years
see I come from a place much colder
