Title: Silver Lining (Under Ocean Blvd)
(Very slow piano, almost hesitant—like she's playing it alone in a dim room. Her voice is soft, close-miked, a little cracked on the high notes, no big production. Just truth.)[Verse 1]
You’re the silver lining I keep looking for
in these quiet clouds over Long Beach
where the fog makes everything feel smaller
and I wonder if anyone still sees meI catch a little gold in the gray
when you notice the freckles I try to cover
or the way my hair goes wild in the rain
and you smile like it’s the prettiest thing[Pre-Chorus]
We walk slow through those poppy fields
no more pretending we’re invincible
petals cling to my jeans, damp and heavy
rain runs down my back, makes me shiver
Your lips taste like real life—
a little dry, a little tired, but warm
like you’ve been waiting for me too[Chorus]
In your eyes, time doesn’t judge me
just holds still for one shaky breath
Under this skin—soft spots, old scars, stretch marks from days I hated myself
you take my thunder, the noise I used to hide behind
and I let it fall… right into you
Don’t forget me
like that tunnel nobody remembers anymore
Love the crooked parts of me
the way I blush and look away
the nights I cry for no reason
There’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd
Don’t forget me[Verse 2]
Some nights I stare at the ceiling cracks
feeling sealed up like I’m not enough
body too soft here, too marked there
wondering if you’ll still want in
But you touch the lines like they mean something
we come home barefoot, hands locked tight
your grip says you’re scared I’ll vanish
I taste our shared quiet hurt
not perfect, not gold—just ours[Bridge]
When will I stop asking if I’m allowed to take up space?
Love me easy, the thighs that touch
the way I apologize for breathing loud
Under you I’m thunder gone quiet
just a heartbeat saying stay
Kiss the parts I’ve hidden longest
tell me they’re beautiful anyway[Chorus – barely above a whisper, fading]
In your eyes, time forgets to hurt
(forget me not… forget me not)
Under this real skin you take my thunder
and I give it… gladly, to you
Don’t forget me
like the tunnel under Ocean Blvd
Silver lining in my ordinary gray
the way you hold me—like I’m finally home
There’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd
Don’t forget me(Ends on soft rain sounds, her last breathy plea: “Please… don’t forget me.”)
