Lyrics: Paul Thetford
Music composed and preformed by AI

[Intro]
Phone ringing tone… then a warm beat drops
Eh-hey… eh-hey…
From far away, I feel you in the beat, eh
Eh-hey… eh-hey…

[Verse 1]
I count the coins and I count the hours
Send photos of my new city flowers
But my heart’s still back in our hometown streets
Where the sun knew my name and the rain was sweet
I work double shifts in a foreign tongue
Just to hear my mother laugh on the phone, so young
She says “Don’t forget to eat, don’t work too hard”
But the night is long when you’re oceans apart

[Chorus]
Oceans away, but close in the beat
I dance alone on this foreign street
For every step, I send love back home
Through the Wi-Fi waves, never alone
Ooh, the money moves, but the heart stays true
Building a future, missing you
Oceans away… oceans away…

[Verse 2]
My friends are getting married, I see it online
Toast with water, pretending it’s wine
I memorize the sky here, it’s not the same blue
But I close my eyes and I’m back with you
The food here tastes like cardboard and salt
I’d trade it all for one more meal in our courtyard
I wear the cold like a borrowed coat
But your voice is the fire that warms my soul

[Chorus]
Oceans away, but close in the beat
I dance alone on this foreign street
For every step, I send love back home
Through the Wi-Fi waves, never alone
Ooh, the money moves, but the heart stays true
Building a future, missing you
Oceans away… oceans away…

[Bridge]
Some call it sacrifice, I call it love with a price
Paying in distance, paying in nights
But when the money lands in my father’s account
I hear the relief, I feel the amount
It’s not just numbers, it’s hope, it’s a prayer
It’s “I wish I was there, but I’m showing I care”

[Outro]
So I’ll dance in my room to our hometown song
And know this struggle won’t be too long
One day I’ll return with my head held high
And never again say goodbye
For now… oceans away…
But close in the beat…
Close in the beat…
