There's no other place
The sun's shining brighter today than ever before
As I walk along the beach, watching waves rolling into shore
The sea air fills up my lungs
Leaving it's salty taste on my tongue
I pause for a moment to watch a few gulls fly past
And think to myself I've found peace at last
There's no other place I'd rather be
But right here walking in this beach
There's no other place meant for me
But right here and now, heart just out of reach
Like the waves that wipe the beaches clean
Each day is the same routine
Finding ways just to make do
Taking each step in stride, further and further away from you
There's no other place I'd rather be
But right here walking in this beach
There's no other place meant for me
But right here and now, heart just out of reach
As the sun sets on the horizon
I reflect on the time when
I was once a mariner lost upon your shore
But now I'm not stranded anymore
The tides of time have erased the pain of your memory
The winds of change have blown me to the place I want to be
There's no other place I'd rather be
But right here walking in this beach
There's no other place meant for me
But right here and now, heart just out of reach
There's no other place I'd rather be
But right here on this beach
There's no other place meant for me
But here and now, just out of reach
