Lyrics
[Verse 1] You drew a map on the back of a cinema stub Three turns past the river, where the old cranes hum I followed your ink through a market gone still Past a locked-up carousel on the edge of the hill You said, “don’t bring flowers, bring a question instead” So i carried one softly, like a stone in my hand At the railway museum, beneath the blue signs You laughed at the clocks all keeping different time [Pre-Chorus] And every wrong direction Put your shoulder next to mine No promise, no confession Just a little more borrowed time [Chorus] Meet me where the signal disappears Where the mountain folds the atmosphere I don’t need a perfect reason I just need you near Let the whole world lose our names tonight Leave no photograph, leave no alibi If the road keeps changing shape I’ll change with you, i’ll change with you [Verse 2] There was a woman selling planets made of wire Mars in a milk crate, saturn on a tire She told us, “every orbit is a choice you repeat” You bought the smallest one and hung it from my sleeve Then a freight train split the afternoon in two You counted every carriage; i kept watching you A dog barked once from a roof painted green And the city turned strange in the space between [Pre-Chorus] No grand revelation No borrowed line to say Just your hand finding mine In an unscripted kind of way [Chorus] Meet me where the signal disappears Where the mountain folds the atmosphere I don’t need a perfect reason I just need you near Let the whole world lose our names tonight Leave no photograph, leave no alibi If the road keeps changing shape I’ll change with you, i’ll change with you [Bridge] Maybe love is not a doorway Maybe it’s the route we miss A paper map, a broken compass Your thumb brushing against my wrist [Final chorus] Meet me where the signal disappears Where the mountain folds the atmosphere I don’t need a perfect reason I just need you near Let the whole world lose our names tonight Leave no photograph, leave no alibi If the road keeps changing shape I’ll change with you, i’ll change with you [Outro] Keep the map, keep the question Keep the dust along your shoes Somewhere past the last instruction I’ll be finding you
