[Intro]

[Verse 1]
I wanted the summer to go blue
I wanted it to summon you
I wanted the sky to hide the moon
I wanted the clouds to dim the noon

But seasons change, and so did we
Your shadow fades into the sea
I held your hand, then let it go
Like the tide that pulls back slow

[Chorus]
And I still feel you in the breeze
Whispering through the autumn leaves
Somewhere beyond this summer’s end
I hope the wind will bring you back again

[Verse 2]
The nights were long, the days were warm
We danced through every sudden storm
But love can’t fight the hands of time
We drifted out of each other’s lines

Still in the dark, I see your light
It paints my dreams in shades of white
And though the world has pulled apart
You’re still the echo in my heart

[Chorus]
And I still feel you in the breeze
Whispering through the autumn leaves
Somewhere beyond this summer’s end
I hope the wind will bring you back again

[Music]

[Bridge]
Maybe next year’s skies will stay
Long enough for you to say
That the summer we let go
Still lives in every afterglow

[Final Chorus]
And I still feel you in the breeze
Whispering through the autumn leaves
Somewhere beyond this summer’s end
I hope the wind will bring you back again

[Outro]


Tilted Summer

[Verse 1]
I dreamed of banners in electric weather,
maps that caught fire at the edge of night.
But morning called with a chipped-gray kettle,
keys by the door and socks that don’t match right.
My pirate ship is a city bus,
its sails are ads for better days.
I stamp my ticket like a vow to move
one ordinary mile ablaze.

[Pre-Chorus]
I kept a compass labeled “Someday,”
it spun whenever rent came due.
Then the pavement hummed a prophecy:
“Look closer, this is questing, too.”

[Chorus]
Ex-Ordinary, write it on my morning,
turn the stairwell into peaks of air.
I wanted thunder; got a heartbeat
and found a louder drum in there.
If legends bloom in laundry rooms,
let the dryer be my roaring sea.
Ex-Ordinary, say it like a banner:
I changed the world by changing me.

[Verse 2]
Boss fights blink in blinking inbox,
dragons hiss in coffee steam.
A paper crown from the barista’s smile
“Next in line” becomes my theme.
A stranger holds the elevator, mentor;
floor fifteen, a crooked throne.
I learn small magic: please and mercy,
and doors that open when I own.

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe faraway begins inside
a lamp that lights from asking why.
I chase horizons through a child’s laughter,
watch it turn the hallway sky.

[Chorus]
Ex-Ordinary, pin it to my jacket,
let the grocery list become a scroll.
I wanted mountains; found a staircase,
each riser writing “you are whole.”
If epics live in living rooms,
then set a table, pull a chair.
Ex-Ordinary, sing it like an answer:
the miracle was always here.

[Bridge]
I thought adventure wore a crown,
but kindness crossed the street with me.
An old man nodded, passing watchman,
as if he knew the guard I’d be.
The checkout beep tapped Morse-code wisdom:
“Carry light for other lives.
The map you want is made of giving.
That’s how sidewalks turn to skies.”

[Breakdown]
Side quest: call your mother.
Main quest: breathe and stay.
Save point: someone’s shoulder.
Fast travel: give them grace.

[Chorus – Reprise]
Ex-Ordinary, etch it on the dishes,
let the sink reflect a climbing blue.
I wanted thunder; heard a whisper
“I’ll stand with you” and that was true.
If heroes come back with an elixir,
mine is time made brave and kind.
Ex-Ordinary, marching through the daylight,
a brand-new myth in borrowed time.

[Outro]
So roll the credits over evening,
let the streetlights crown the keys.
I dreamed of kings. I learned to be
a citizen of victories.
Tomorrow’s map is just a morning;
I’ll lace my life and walk it free.
Ex-Ordinary, say it softly:
the grand adventure lies in me.
