[Verse 1]
You carry the whole tide beneath your quiet face,
Feeling every current, still holding your place,
You've poured yourself into the cracks of other lives,
Given warmth like shelter, kept the cold outside,
But somewhere in the giving, you lost the thread back home,
And the ache you feel at midnight is the weight of feeling alone.

[PreChorus]
The ocean doesn't question if it's worthy of the shore,
And neither should the heart that knows how deep its waters go.

[Chorus]
Come back to yourself, come back to the light,
Gail, you were never meant to disappear from sight,
The tide always returns, the moon always calls,
You are most yourself when you let someone in through the walls.

[Verse 2]
Your mind moves like water finding every open door,
A thousand living questions, always hungry for more,
You love through conversation, through the details that you keep,
Through the way you hold a story others bury in their sleep,
You've tended to the garden while yours sat in the rain,
But everything you've carried has been quietly building strength, not pain.

[PreChorus]
You weren't made for distance, you were made for the exchange,
The warmth you keep for everyone belongs to you the same.

[Chorus]
Come back to yourself, come back to the light,
Gail, you were never meant to disappear from sight,
The tide always returns, the moon always calls,
You are most yourself when you let someone in through the walls.

[Verse 3]
There's a fire in the sky beginning to burn bright and wide,
The kind of season made for stepping back outside,
Not the version that the world shaped you to be,
But the one who loves with depth, who longs for something free,
Connection isn't finding someone perfect, whole, and new,
It's standing in the doorway and letting yourself through.

[PreChorus]
The stars that wrote you carefully don't make mistakes,
And what you need is reaching for you, even now, as the new dawn breaks.

[Chorus]
Come back to yourself, come back to the light,
Gail, you were never meant to disappear from sight,
The tide always returns, the moon always calls,
You are most yourself when you let someone in through the walls.

[Bridge]
You are ancient and tender, you are steady and wide,
There is so much love still waiting on the other side,
Not a love you have to earn or hold together with your hands,
But the kind that finds you, fully, exactly where you stand.

[Outro]
The universe has held you through every quiet year,
Gail, you are not alone, and connection is already near,
Let the tide bring you home.
