[Verse 1 – 4/4 | ~142 BPM | Key: A major | Chords: A → F#m → D → E | low, steady vocal; palm-muted guitars, with slapback delay] I still don’t believe the best has come I’m convinced it just gets better and better Campfire glows in reds and oranges Soft light flickers across our faces Moonlit beach strolls late at night There’s something magic in those nights [Chorus – D → A → E → F#m, D → A → E → E | wide open power chords, octave leads, stacked harmonies] I’m accepting all that is And what I can’t control I'm exactly whom I want to be Trying to think of others more often A lot less of myself so often Recognize my face in the mirror Looking back at me Staring back at me [Verse 2 – A → F#m → D → E | more drive, picked guitars + extra texture] Paddling out over glassy waves Board beneath, the shoreline slips away Fresh rain smell a sweet surprise Colors bleed and stain the sky Out near Amboy where the black rock climbs Pure white sand in the canyon winds Heart-to-heart road trip conversations No more lies and manipulations Campfire glows in reds and oranges Flickers hard across our faces ’Til the dark feels wired around us [Chorus – D → A → E → F#m, D → A → E → E | add higher harmony + counter guitar melody] I’m accepting all that is And what I can’t control I'm exactly whom I want to be Trying to think of others more often A lot less of myself so often Recognize my face in the mirror Looking back at me Staring back at me Looking back at me Staring back at me [Musical Bridge – F#m → D → A → E | cinematic SoCal lift: delayed lead line, toms, bass melody] (instrumental – no vocal) [Final Chorus – D → A → E → F#m, D → A → E → E | explosive, gang vocals on last lines] I’m accepting all that is And what I can’t control I'm exactly whom I want to be Trying to think of others more often A lot less of myself so often Recognize my face in the mirror Looking back at me Staring back at me Is this who you want to see? Cause it’s where I want to be.
