[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath the calm you show the room,
A tide that pulls at everything beneath a silver moon,
You carry what you feel like it's a weight you chose to keep,
While everyone sees stillness and you're navigating deep,
You've built a home inside yourself with no address or door,
And given more to everyone than they could ask you for

[PreChorus]
But the heart that holds a world together still needs holding too,
There's nothing left to prove in all the things you've carried through

[Chorus]
Alexis, you were written in a language all your own,
Every tide that shaped you led you closer to your home,
The stars that mapped your journey knew exactly what they'd find,
Someone soft enough to feel it all, strong enough to rise

[Verse 2]
Your mind moves like a current through the questions no one asks,
You see the truth beneath the surface, tear through every mask,
You love like it's an ancient thing, unhurried, wide, and true,
But somewhere in the giving you forget they're there for you,
You want the kind of closeness that feels free enough to breathe,
Then hold yourself at arm's length from the ones who choose to stay

[PreChorus]
But every wall you ever built was just a door you hadn't found,
And every time you let someone in, you moved to higher ground

[Chorus]
Alexis, you were written in a language all your own,
Every tide that shaped you led you closer to your home,
The stars that mapped your journey knew exactly what they'd find,
Someone soft enough to feel it all, strong enough to rise

[Verse 3]
The world admires what it sees and doesn't know the cost,
Of building something beautiful from everything you've lost,
There's a version of you still waiting to be told she's good,
That the way she loves and wanders was always understood,
The currents that confused you were just teaching you to steer,
And everything that broke you open brought you here

[PreChorus]
The path was never perfect but it only ever leads to you,
And what you're still becoming is the finest thing you've moved toward

[Chorus]
Alexis, you were written in a language all your own,
Every tide that shaped you led you closer to your home,
The stars that mapped your journey knew exactly what they'd find,
Someone soft enough to feel it all, strong enough to rise

[Bridge]
What turned back to find you was already yours to claim,
The voice you kept on quieting deserves to speak your name,
Let the water carry what no longer needs to stay,
You are not what happened, you are everything today

[Outro]
The sky above you hasn't finished what it started here,
Everything that's coming has been waiting, drawing near,
You are guided, Alexis, you are held, you are enough
