Lyrics
[Verse 1] You drew a map across the ceiling With a laser from the loading bay Three floors down, the whole block breathing While you changed the route and walked away I kept the ticket with the blue ink Pressed between two pages of a plan Some roads only show their meaning After you stop trying to understand [Pre-Chorus] You don't need to say where you're going I can hear it in the way you turn Every quiet choice keeps glowing Like a lesson i was meant to learn [Chorus] Take the long way through the signal Let the whole horizon rearrange If the old signs lose their language We can make a new one from the change No, i won't hold you to a promise No, i won't ask the past to stay Take the long way through the signal I'll be here, but not in your way [Verse 2] You found a coin beneath the floorboards Stamped with someone else's year Held it up like buried evidence Then laughed until the coast was clear There are names we never answer There are doors that open when we leave You can carry what has mattered Without asking it to carry me [Pre-Chorus] You don't need to say where you're going I can hear it in the way you turn Every quiet choice keeps glowing Like a lesson i was meant to learn [Chorus] Take the long way through the signal Let the whole horizon rearrange If the old signs lose their language We can make a new one from the change No, i won't hold you to a promise No, i won't ask the past to stay Take the long way through the signal I'll be here, but not in your way [Bridge] Maybe freedom has a sound like this A low note bending underneath Maybe love is not a locked-in room Maybe it's the space between the beats [Final chorus] Take the long way through the signal Let the whole horizon rearrange If the old signs lose their language We can make a new one from the change No, i won't hold you to a promise No, i won't ask the past to stay Take the long way through the signal I'll be here, but not in your way [Outro] Not in your way Still in the frame Not in your way Call it by a different name
