[Verse 1]
She carries the whole ocean underneath her skin
A tide nobody sees when she lets the light in
Her mind moves like weather, changing fast and bright
She'll talk through the thunder, then feel it all at night
There's a stillness she wears like a coat in the cold
And a wildfire burning in the stories untold

[PreChorus]
She's built her walls so careful, stone by stone
But the deepest kind of love she's never quite called home

[Chorus]
Hold on, Katie, the tide's turning your way
You were made for the deep end, not the shallow and the grey
The stars mapped your heartbeat long before you knew
There's nothing left to prove, the world already needs you

[Verse 2]
She sees through people like glass in the morning sun
Feels the unspoken thing before the sentence's done
She'll pour herself out til the pitcher runs dry
Then wonder in the quiet why she's the one asking why
There's a wound in her worth that she carries alone
Like a stone in her pocket on the long road home

[PreChorus]
She's chased perfection down a road without an end
But the grace she gives to others is a gift she needs to lend

[Chorus]
Hold on, Katie, the tide's turning your way
You were made for the deep end, not the shallow and the grey
The stars mapped your heartbeat long before you knew
There's nothing left to prove, the world already needs you

[Verse 3]
She loves like the current runs under the ground
Patient and ancient and constant and profound
She wants what is real, not the beautiful lie
A love that stands steady when the seasons run dry
She'll light up a room and then slip out the door
Always giving the feast but still hungry for more

[PreChorus]
She's learning that the love she freely gives away
Belongs to her as much as it belongs to anyone today

[Chorus]
Hold on, Katie, the tide's turning your way
You were made for the deep end, not the shallow and the grey
The stars mapped your heartbeat long before you knew
There's nothing left to prove, the world already needs you

[Verse 4]
The world she imagines is worth reaching for
Her compass points inward to an unmarked shore
She's been the quiet force behind the things that last
A future she's building while releasing the past
There's a calling in her bones that no silence can still
She was written in the cosmos with deliberate will

[PreChorus]
She's standing at the edge of everything she's earned
Every scar a kind of lantern, every loss a lesson learned

[Chorus]
Hold on, Katie, the tide's turning your way
You were made for the deep end, not the shallow and the grey
The stars mapped your heartbeat long before you knew
There's nothing left to prove, the world already needs you

[Bridge]
The moon in her knows how to find the light
The depth in her was never something wrong or something to fight
She is enough, she has always been enough
The universe don't make mistakes, and darling, she's the proof

[Outro]
So rest in it, Katie, let the water rise
Everything you are is written in the skies
The tide is yours, the time is now, come home
