Lyrics:

[Intro]
[Lush, sweeping violins. A warm, vibrato-heavy cello leads into a gentle piano tinkling. It sounds like a dream.]
[Spoken with a velvet tone]

"My darling... some voyages are simply meant to be."

[Verse 1]
The moon is a lantern, reflecting in your eyes
A shimmering compass beneath the velvet skies
I was a drifter, a sailor lost at sea
Until your golden harbor opened up for me

[Verse 2]
Our love is a vessel, sturdy and so grand
Steering us gently toward a promised land
Through every narrow passage, through every rising tide
I’m simply overjoyed to have you by my side

[Pre-Chorus]
They say the bravest captain knows when to drop the sail
But in the ocean of our love, we’re far too big to fail
It’s a delicate maneuver, a dance upon the blue
Just a typical afternoon of navigating you

[Chorus]
And oh, my love, I feel it, a symphony of bliss
I’d brave the deepest trenches for a single honeyed kiss
Like the Strait of Hormuz, you’re a complicated path
But I’d rather face the rapids than ever face your wrath
[Softly] You’re the world, my darling... to me.

[Bridge]
[The music swells to a cinematic peak—timpani hits, soaring trumpets—then suddenly drops to just a lonely, melancholy Mellotron and a bass guitar]

But even the finest ship...
Can only take so much spray.
Even the brightest sun...
Must eventually fade away.
It’s been a lovely journey, the view was quite a view...
But I’ve had enough of you.

[Chorus]
[The orchestra returns, but now it feels slightly frantic—the "optimism" has become a bit desperate and loud]
Yes, oh my love, I feel it! The freedom is so sweet!
The sound of crashing waves is like a drumbeat to my feet!
I’m sailing for the horizon, I’m cutting all the ties
I’m looking for a brand new coast and much less moody skies!

[Hook]
[The music stops abruptly. One single, elegant chime.]
I’ve had enough of you.
[A whimsical flute flourish]
Truly, I’ve had enough of you.

[Outro]
[The lush strings return for a final, grand finale. It sounds like the end of a classic film.]
No more rocky waters...
No more narrow straits...
Just me... and the open sea.
[Whispered] Enough.

[Final grand orchestral chord - C Major]
