Lyrics
[Verse 1] You found a blue button Under the old museum bench Turned it over in your palm Like a message no one sent A guard was closing gallery three The rain had missed the west side You asked me if it matched my coat I said, “Only if you decide” [Chorus] So we carried that small blue circle Past the statues and the rails Made a pocket-sized adventure Out of routes and paper trails No grand map, no final answer Just a town we didn’t know And the button in your hand said There are places we can go [Verse 2] At the corner, a violinist Played one string beneath a tree A child drew a crooked ocean In the dust beside his knee You bought a stamp from a closed-up shop By slipping coins through the grate Then you mailed it to yourself With a date we couldn’t translate [Chorus] So we carried that small blue circle Past the statues and the rails Made a pocket-sized adventure Out of routes and paper trails No grand map, no final answer Just a town we didn’t know And the button in your hand said There are places we can go [Bridge] Years from now, inside a drawer Between a key and a photograph You’ll find that color, bright and worn And wonder where the hours went past I’ll remember your crooked smile The violin, the dusty knee Some stories start with losing things Some end where they’re meant to be [Chorus] We carried that small blue circle Past the statues and the rails Made a pocket-sized adventure Out of routes and paper trails No grand map, no final answer Just a town we didn’t know And the button in your hand said There are places we can go [Outro] There are places we can go There are places we can go [Instrumental Outro]
