This one is just the song: “Oceans Away” (audio). I wrote and produced it myself, and it’s basically me trying to translate that specific kind of distance—emotional and literal—into something you can sit inside for a few minutes. The lyrics start with me “wondering how to feel,” and that whole push-pull of blame, growing up, and realizing you can’t keep holding onto a version of the past just because it’s familiar. The hook is the line I keep coming back to: I won’t wait forever and let myself drown. There’s a lot of “modern times” anxiety in here—static in a new atmosphere, being alone in a foreign place, waking up and still seeing someone in your head. The takeaway (if there is one) is that I’m trying to let go without turning it into bitterness: I know I’ll be fine on my own, I just want to know you’re okay. If you’re into sad songs with a clean piano core and a heavy, honest lyric, this is that.
