How Far Ill Go

The song is about a person who feels drawn to the sea and longs to know what lies beyond the horizon. They have been staring at the water's edge as long as they can remember. Though they wish they could be the perfect daughter, they are always pulled back to the water no matter how hard they try. The sea calls out to them and they wonder how far it goes and if they go there, how far they will travel.

[Verse 1]

E F#m
I've been staring at the edge of the water
C#m A
'Long as I can remember, never really knowing why
E F#m
I wish I could be the perfect daughter
C#m A
But I come back to the water, no matter how hard I try

[Pre-Chorus 1]

C#m
Every turn I take, every trail I track
B
Every path I make, every road leads back
E
To the place I know, where I cannot go
Am
Though I long to be

[Chorus]

E B
See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me
C#m A
And no one knows, how far it goes
E B
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
C#m Am
One day I'll know, if I go there's just no telling how far I'll go

[Post-Chorus]

E B
Oh oh oh, oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
C#m A
Oh oh oh, oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh

[Verse 2]

E F#m C#m
I know, everybody on this island seems so happy on this island
A
Everything is by design
E F#m C#m
I know, everybody on this island has a role on this island
A
So maybe I can roll with mine

[Pre-Chorus 2]

C#m
I can lead with pride, I can make us strong
B
I'll be satisfied if I play along
E
But the voice inside sings a different song
Am
What is wrong with me?

[Chorus 2]

E B
See the light as it shines on the sea? It's blinding
C#m A
But no one knows, how deep it goes
E B
And it seems like it's calling out to me, so come find me
C#m A
And let me know, what's beyond that line, will I cross that line?

[Chorus 1]

F C
See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me
Dm A#
And no one knows, how far it goes
F C
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
Dm A#
One day I'll know, how far I'll go

[Outro]

"How Far I'll Go"

I've been staring at the edge of the water


'Long as I can remember, never really knowing why
I wish I could be the perfect daughter
But I come back to the water, no matter how hard I try

Every turn I take, every trail I track


Every path I make, every road leads back
To the place I know, where I cannot go
Where I long to be

See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me
And no one knows, how far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know, if I go there's just no telling how far I'll go
Oh oh oh, oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh

I know, everybody on this island seems so happy on this island


Everything is by design
I know, everybody on this island has a role on this island
So maybe I can roll with mine

I can lead with pride, I can make us strong


I'll be satisfied if I play along
But the voice inside sings a different song
What is wrong with me?

See the light as it shines on the sea? It's blinding


But no one knows, how deep it goes
And it seems like it's calling out to me, so come find me
And let me know, what's beyond that line, will I cross that line?

See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me
And no one knows, how far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know, how far I'll go
