[Intro – soft acoustic guitar strums, distant wave sounds] Salt in the air, sun on my skin Waves crash slow, the world feels thin [Verse 1 – upbeat strumming, light percussion] Sandy toes and a cold lemonade Seagulls call as the tide starts to fade Boardwalk lights flicker as day turns to dusk Ice cream drips, no need to rush [Pre-Chorus – building rhythm, steel drum hints] Every breath tastes like salt and sweet No clocks to chase, no streets to beat [Chorus – bright vocals, full tropical rhythm] Summer sun on my face, waves at my feet Salt wind in my hair, the world feels complete Sand between toes, salt on my skin This is the place where my heart begins [Verse 2 – laid-back reggae beat, steel drum melody] Flip-flops tap on the boardwalk wood Ice cream melts, the day feels good Kids laugh loud, kites take flight Sun dips low, painting the sky bright [Pre-Chorus – building energy, steel drums swell] Every wave brings a new delight No need to hurry, no need to fight [Chorus – layered vocals, tropical percussion] Summer sun on my face, waves at my feet Salt wind in my hair, the world feels complete Sand between toes, salt on my skin This is the place where my heart begins [Bridge – stripped-back acoustic, soft steel drum] Days stretch long, nights burn slow Memories glow where the seagrows go No alarms, no plans, just the tide’s ebb and flow This is the place where my soul knows home [Solo – steel drum solo, upbeat reggae rhythm] (Instrumental Solo) [Chorus – full band, soaring vocals] Summer sun on my face, waves at my feet Salt wind in my hair, the world feels complete Sand between toes, salt on my skin This is the place where my heart begins [Outro – fading steel drum, distant wave sounds] Sun dips low, sky turns pink Salt wind lingers, summer’s magic lingers too ```
