Lyrics
[Verse 1] You drew a map across the county line With a blue pen borrowed from the county sign Three small towns and a river bend A dare to see where the road would end I tied my scarf to the bicycle bar You counted sparks from the passing cars No promise waiting beyond the hill Just two bright names and a world standing still [Pre-Chorus] If the signal fades, let it fade We’ll read the miles by the choices we made [Chorus] Take me where the wild grass leans Past the fences and the satellite beams I want the horizon changing shape Every turn a chance to escape And if we lose the road tonight We’ll make a compass out of the light Take me where the wild grass leans Somewhere no one has named for me [Verse 2] A paper ticket in your jacket seam For a town that looked like a borrowed dream We crossed a bridge painted yellow and black Then laughed when the map refused to come back A fox watched us from the shoulder stones Like it knew all the shortcuts home You said, “the best parts don’t announce their start” Then pointed west with your fearless heart [Pre-Chorus] Let the landmarks disappear There’s more to find when nothing’s clear [Chorus] Take me where the wild grass leans Past the fences and the satellite beams I want the horizon changing shape Every turn a chance to escape And if we lose the road tonight We’ll make a compass out of the light Take me where the wild grass leans Somewhere no one has named for me [Bridge] Maybe freedom is a moving line A little farther every time Maybe courage is the sound Of choosing wonder over solid ground [Chorus] Take me where the wild grass leans Past the fences and the satellite beams I want the horizon changing shape Every turn a chance to escape And if we lose the road tonight We’ll make a compass out of the light Take me where the wild grass leans Somewhere no one has named for me [Final chorus] Take me where the wild grass leans Past the fences and the satellite beams I want the horizon changing shape Every turn a chance to escape And if we lose the road tonight We’ll make a compass out of the light Take me where the wild grass leans Somewhere no one has named for me [Outro] Somewhere no one has named for me Somewhere the open keeps opening Somewhere no one has named for me I’ll follow, i’ll follow, i’ll follow free Somewhere no one has named for me Somewhere the open keeps opening Somewhere no one has named for me I’ll follow, i’ll follow, i’ll follow free
