Matthew in Australia

Lyrics

[Verse 1] My son Matthew on the map Touchdown far from home Flip-flops in the sand Phone full of kangaroo roam He text, “Dad, I’m good” Blue skies, big wild view Got that O.G. grin Like the whole world fits you Boardwalk in his step New stamps in the book From the gum tree shade To the reef-side look I miss your voice, my boy But I smile at the flight You out there living large And you doing it right [Pre-Chorus] Miles can’t shake this bond It just grows with the sun From the west to the east You my first and my one [Chorus] Matthew in Australia My son, you shine so bright Matthew in Australia You chase that open light Matthew in Australia (yeah, Matthew) Bring that joy back home Matthew in Australia You got the whole world on [Verse 2] Saw your shoes by the door Now I picture your path Rock in your pocket And salt on your laugh From the train to the tide You collecting your days I’m proud of the way You move your own ways Send a pic of the view Let me see what you see That horizon feel close When you share it with me Keep your head on good Keep your heart nice and free While you out in Australia Know you still with me [Pre-Chorus] Miles can’t shake this bond It just grows with the sun From the west to the east You my first and my one [Chorus] Matthew in Australia My son, you shine so bright Matthew in Australia You chase that open light Matthew in Australia (yeah, Matthew) Bring that joy back home Matthew in Australia You got the whole world on [Bridge] If the night gets long And the road feels new Hear my voice in the calm Saying, “I believe in you” Take your time, take it in Every wave, every sign You can travel the earth Still be mine all mine [Chorus] Matthew in Australia My son, you shine so bright Matthew in Australia You chase that open light Matthew in Australia (yeah, Matthew) Bring that joy back home Matthew in Australia You got the whole world on
