Lyrics
[Verse 1] You drew a map on the back of a train receipt Three red circles where the old rails split Said, "Don't chase the city, chase the signal" Then vanished where the freight lines bend I kept your number under a false name Not for hiding, just to hear it ring Every time the tower blinked twice I knew you were somewhere changing things [Pre-Chorus] You move like a rumor with a pulse Never where the question says you are I don't need a promise from you Just leave one mark beneath the stars [Chorus] Leave the coordinates, I'll find the heat Somewhere the northbound engines lose their speech No photograph, no alibi Just your silver laugh cutting through the night If you go, go clean, don't turn around I'll meet you where the signal drops out [Verse 2] There was a room beneath the stadium With painted numbers on the concrete wall You traded secrets for a matchbook And taught the guards to miss your call I wore your jacket through the tunnel Smelled like cedar, wire, and foreign rain When the whole crowd shook above us You said, "The quiet is the real escape" [Pre-Chorus] You move like a rumor with a pulse Never where the question says you are I don't need a promise from you Just leave one mark beneath the stars [Chorus] Leave the coordinates, I'll find the heat Somewhere the northbound engines lose their speech No photograph, no alibi Just your silver laugh cutting through the night If you go, go clean, don't turn around I'll meet you where the signal drops out [Bridge] Maybe we're not lost, maybe we're unlisted Two bright sparks the grid forgot to claim If the whole world closes every entrance We'll make a doorway out of borrowed flame [Breakdown] Tell me the number Tell me the line Tell me the place Where your world crosses mine [Final Chorus] Leave the coordinates, I'll find the heat Somewhere the northbound engines lose their speech No photograph, no alibi Just your silver laugh cutting through the night If you go, go clean, don't turn around I'll meet you where the signal drops out I'll meet you where the signal drops out [Outro] One mark beneath the stars One mark beneath the stars
