Lyrics
[Verse 1] You drew a map across the back of your hand Three little rivers and a place to stand We took the long way past the county line Chasing a signal from an old weather sign [Pre-Chorus] Every mile turned silver in the heat Every wrong road put us on our feet [Chorus] Keep your compass pointed toward the blue There’s a wider world waiting out for you If the ground gives way, we’ll learn to fly With a pocketful of sparks and a patient sky Keep your compass pointed toward the blue I’ll be brave enough to follow you [Verse 2] A paper kite rose over harvest gold Tugging at the string like a story told You laughed when the wind pulled hard and fast Said nothing beautiful was built to last [Pre-Chorus] So we tied our hopes to a steady thread Let the open country clear our heads [Chorus] Keep your compass pointed toward the blue There’s a wider world waiting out for you If the ground gives way, we’ll learn to fly With a pocketful of sparks and a patient sky Keep your compass pointed toward the blue I’ll be brave enough to follow you [Bridge] When the landmarks fade and the road bends strange We don’t need a sign to welcome change Hand in hand beneath the turning sun We’ll meet the miles that haven’t yet begun [Final Chorus] Keep your compass pointed toward the blue There’s a wider world waiting out for you If the ground gives way, we’ll learn to fly With a pocketful of sparks and a patient sky Keep your compass pointed toward the blue I’ll be brave enough to follow you Keep your compass pointed toward the blue Every unknown opens into view [Outro] Point it blue I’ll follow you
