Lyrics
[Verse 1] You were pinning blue studies beside the main hall While the crowd made a river past the painted wall I was carrying six small canvases, trying to look sure You said, “that one has a pulse; let it breathe a little more” [Pre-Chorus] You saw a road in the marks i almost hid I saw the whole room turn toward what you did [Chorus] When your colors meet mine, the whole place leans in A bright line runs between where we’ve been You make me want to risk what i came here to show And i can feel that shared idea begin to grow Under gallery lights, with the crowd passing through I see a bigger world taking shape with you [Verse 2] A critic stopped mid-sentence at your copper-red sky Two students traced the angles, then looked up to ask why You sketched a little bridge where my rough black shapes crossed And suddenly the distance in my work was not lost [Pre-Chorus] You found a door in the space i called a flaw I watched your pencil redraw what i thought i saw [Chorus] When your colors meet mine, the whole place leans in A bright line runs between where we’ve been You make me want to risk what i came here to show And i can feel that shared idea begin to grow Under gallery lights, with the crowd passing through I see a bigger world taking shape with you [Bridge] Maybe next month we’ll build it wall to wall A city made of fragments, tall enough to call Not yours, not mine, but something neither planned A new horizon made by two unsteady hands [Final chorus] When your colors meet mine, the whole place leans in A bright line runs between where we’ve been You make me want to risk what i came here to show And i can feel that shared idea begin to grow Under gallery lights, with the crowd passing through I see a bigger world taking shape with you [Outro] The last guests leave; we’re still talking it through That bigger world taking shape with you
