Lyrics
[Verse 1] You drew a map on the back of a train ticket Three red marks where the old rails split Said, “don’t chase the arrow, follow the tremor” Then vanished where the signal turned silver I kept that paper beneath my sleeve Like a small dare i refused to leave Every wrong road wore your handwriting Every mile made the question brighter [Pre-Chorus] If the ground can move without warning Maybe we were never meant to stand still [Chorus] Meet me where the compass loses north Where the river folds the iron into gold Bring the name you buried in your throat I’ll bring the nerve to let it go No promise carved, no future rehearsed Just two wild sparks testing the universe If we disappear beyond the known Let the unknown take us home [Verse 2] At the museum, the clocks all disagreed One ran backward, one forgot to breathe You laughed beneath the suspended planets Said, “time is only honest when it shatters” A guard announced the closing hour We slipped outside beneath the radio tower Your coat caught fire with the sunset color My heart learned a language without a cover [Pre-Chorus] If the ground can move without warning Maybe we were never meant to stand still [Chorus] Meet me where the compass loses north Where the river folds the iron into gold Bring the name you buried in your throat I’ll bring the nerve to let it go No promise carved, no future rehearsed Just two wild sparks testing the universe If we disappear beyond the known Let the unknown take us home [Bridge] There’s a door in the canyon wall No handle, no sign, no sound at all You pressed your palm against the stone And every buried engine woke [Final chorus] Meet me where the compass loses north Where the river folds the iron into gold Bring the name you buried in your throat I’ll bring the nerve to let it go No promise carved, no future rehearsed Just two wild sparks testing the universe If we disappear beyond the known Let the unknown take us home [Outro] Let the unknown take us home Past the last mark, past the radio tone Let the unknown take us home
