Rooftop Reef

[Verse 1]
The bass on the corner, a low, distant hum
Makes the tin roof tremble, like waves when they come.
Each ripple a memory, a warm ocean tide
Where the spirit of islands, eternally hide.

[Chorus]
This bass, a deep current, pulling me back to the shore,
Where the moon hangs heavy, and I remember more.
This bittersweet rhythm, a salt-sprayed lament,
For the shifting sands I left, and the way that they bent.

[Verse 2]
Hear the dogs start to answer, a mournful, low cry,
Under starlight that glimmers, from a Miami sky.
The scent of night jasmine, a memory takes hold,
Of stories my Nana, in hushed whispers told.

[Chorus]
This bass, a deep current, pulling me back to the shore,
Where the moon hangs heavy, and I remember more.
This bittersweet rhythm, a salt-sprayed lament,
For the shifting sands I left, and the way that they bent.

[Bridge]
Like a barnacle clinging, through all ocean's might,
My heart holds these rhythms, through the long, lonely night.
Each beat, a navigation, by stars I once knew,
A quiet resilience, shining through.

[Chorus]
This bass, a deep current, pulling me back to the shore,
Where the moon hangs heavy, and I remember more.
This bittersweet rhythm, a salt-sprayed lament,
For the shifting sands I left, and the way that they bent.

[Outro]
That crescent reflection, on shifting sand floor,
Always pulling me home, always wanting more.
