See you (By the Sea)

I see you

I see you by the sea

I see you walking, just trying to be

I see you taking, to who I don’t know

Voices in your head, they just won’t let you go

I see you all at sea

Waves of anxiety, impossible to breathe

Your quiet voice drowned

The shouting in your head, it’s becoming unbound

I see you by the sea

I see you trying to be

Somebody who is free

I see you all at sea

I see you by the sea

I see you fighting, those demons in your head

I see you striving, too slow to forge ahead

Simply surviving, just escaping the dread

I see you by the sea

Lost love for the city, need to gift yourself some space

You’re feelin’ pretty guilty, taking time from the race

I’m so so proud of you, for trying to find your place

I see you by the sea

I see you trying to be

Somebody who is free

I see you all at sea

I see you by the sea

I want to help you in this fight

So sad that I can’t make this right

Powerless to gift you the light

You walk slowly down the beach

I’m so so sorry I can’t reach

The part of you that’s calm

To make you safe and warm

Then things shift

I see you lift

I see you by the sea

I see you look at me

You break into that smile

I haven’t seen in a while

I see you by the sea

I see you walk to me

No words are needed

Anxiety retreated

I see you by the sea

I see you breaking free

Somebody who can breathe

And I love that you can again.. see me
