I’m standing on the edge of this quiet shore Waves pull at my heart, but you’re a thousand miles more I whisper your name into the velvet night The ocean steals it, carries it far out of sight I paint your shadow underneath the pale moonlight Every breath I take just makes you harder to hold tonight My heart’s a drum, soft but beating wild Trying to send my longing through the miles I reach for you, but the distance won’t break I call your name, but the silence won’t shake Every beat of my heart is a rhythm you can’t hear Still I keep reaching, reaching through the air Oh-oh-oh, I’m reaching for someone I can’t reach Oh-oh-oh, with every rhythm my heart beats I write your name across the starry sky But the clouds come rolling, blurring every line I hum our song with a trembling voice Hoping the melody will find you, make your heart rejoice I close my eyes and feel your warmth so near But when I open them, you’re just a memory, my dear My heart’s a drum, echoing through the pain Sending out this rhythm like gentle rain I reach for you, but the distance won’t break I call your name, but the silence won’t shake Every beat of my heart is a rhythm you can’t hear Still I keep reaching, reaching through the air Oh-oh-oh, I’m reaching for someone I can’t reach Oh-oh-oh, with every rhythm my heart beats Maybe someday the stars will finally align Maybe the wind will bring your heart back to mine Until then I’ll sing this song into the dark With every pulse, I’m lighting up the spark I reach for you, even if the distance won’t break I’ll keep calling till the silence starts to shake Every beat of my heart is a rhythm flying high I’ll never stop reaching, reaching for your sky Oh-oh-oh, I’m reaching for someone I can’t reach Oh-oh-oh… but my rhythm will find you… someday… Reach… reach… with every beat… I’m still reaching… for you…
