Lyrics
[Verse 1] You drew a red line across the atlas Said, “Pick a place where the wild winds turn” We found a village beside the canyon Where painted kites climbed higher than birds [Pre-Chorus] I had been counting every reason You gave me one worth crossing for [Chorus] Take me where the maps run thin Where the tall grass bends and begins again If the road keeps changing its name I’ll follow your hand through the open range No promise carved in stone or sky Just your brave laugh and a reason to try Take me where the maps run thin I want to see what we become out there [Verse 2] A silver train cut through the valley Sparks in the dusk, then gone from view You pointed west toward distant thunder I heard the whole horizon call to you [Pre-Chorus] We don’t need answers for the leaving We only need a place to start [Chorus] Take me where the maps run thin Where the tall grass bends and begins again If the road keeps changing its name I’ll follow your hand through the open range No promise carved in stone or sky Just your brave laugh and a reason to try Take me where the maps run thin I want to see what we become out there [Bridge] Slow down, let the compass spin Let every wrong turn pull us in The world is wide, the hour is ours We’ll measure distance by the stars [Breakdown] Just your voice Just my name One small step Then we change [Final Chorus] Take me where the maps run thin Where the tall grass bends and begins again If the road keeps changing its name I’ll follow your hand through the open range No promise carved in stone or sky Just your brave laugh and a reason to try Take me where the maps run thin I want to see what we become out there [Outro] Where the maps run thin We begin again
