WANDERING — Across The Sea

Across The Sea A song about leaving before fully understanding why. This is the beginning of the journey — stepping away from familiar ground without certainty of who is becoming on the other side. Pulled by something deeper than explanation, the song moves through restlessness, freedom, longing, and the quiet instinct to keep going. Not arrival, but movement. Not certainty, but becoming. A journey into the unknown self. Lyrics: You hear that? That ain’t the wind… That’s the sea callin’ Packed my boots and a crooked map Coins in a tin and a sailor’s cap Didn’t know where the road would bend Just knew I couldn’t stay again Salt on skin and a restless grin Felt the wild tide pull me in Names don’t matter, time won’t stay Something in me drifted away Oh the shore said “stay right here” But the waves sang something strange and clear Woo-hoo! carry me across the sea! No map, no chain, just let me breathe! Oh-oh! wine gonna loosen me! Dance with the tide till I can see Woo-hoo! carry me wild and far! Past every doubt and every scar! Oh-oh! wherever the waters lead— That’s where I go, I don’t yet know me Met a man with a one-string tune Said he sailed by the turning moon Laughin’ like time could never stay Like losing ground could make a way We stomped our feet on a broken deck Hands to the sky without regret Every wave like a living drum Calling out what I could become No more ground beneath my feet Only the pull of something deep Woo-Hoo! carry me across the sea! No map, no chain, just let me breathe! Oh-oh! wine gonna loosen me! Dance with the tide till I can see Woo-Hoo! carry me wild and far! Past every doubt and every scar! Oh-oh! wherever the waters lead— That’s where I go, I don’t yet know me If I’m lost, let it be true Maybe losing makes us new Maybe every shifting tide Leaves another self behind Woo-Hoo! carry me across the sea! No map, no chain, just let me breathe! Oh-oh! wine gonna loosen me! Dance with the tide till I can see Woo-Hoo! carry me wild and far! Past every doubt and every scar! Oh-oh! wherever the waters lead— That’s where I go, I don’t yet know me Across the sea… Across the sea…
