Lyrics
[Verse 1] You drew a map in disappearing ink Across the back of a museum ticket Said every border is a dare to think Every locked door keeps a different secret I watched the guard turn off the final room While bronze birds waited underneath the dust You tucked a compass in your tailored coat And asked if I still knew who to trust [Pre-Chorus] No destination, no borrowed name Just a north star hidden in the frame [Chorus] Take me where the statues change their faces Where the old rules loosen at the seams We can trade our shadows for new places Build a language out of broken dreams If the world keeps asking us for proof Let the way we move become the truth [Verse 2] At noon, the ferryman refused his fee He pointed past the pylons to the river Said, “Some crossings only set you free When you leave the safest shore forever” We heard a trumpet from an empty train Three blue notes bending through the metal You laughed like someone breaking a chain Then spun the compass like a falling petal [Pre-Chorus] No destination, no borrowed name Just a north star hidden in the frame [Chorus] Take me where the statues change their faces Where the old rules loosen at the seams We can trade our shadows for new places Build a language out of broken dreams If the world keeps asking us for proof Let the way we move become the truth [Bridge] Maybe every map is just a question Maybe every ending moves the ground I can feel the future in suspension Hear it humming underneath the sound [Chorus] Take me where the statues change their faces Where the old rules loosen at the seams We can trade our shadows for new places Build a language out of broken dreams If the world keeps asking us for proof Let the way we move become the truth [Outro] Keep the compass, keep the secret Leave the borders where they fell If they ask us where we’re going Tell them somewhere we can tell
