Lyrics
[Verse 1] You drew a map on the back of your hand Three small circles where the wild roads bend Said, “i don’t need to know where they end” Just give me a reason to begin [Pre-Chorus] The old bridge groans beneath our feet But you laugh like it’s a marching beat [Chorus] Take me where the compass turns Past the fields of copper ferns If the path runs out, we’ll make one new With the whole wide world in view I was waiting for a sign to start You put a north inside my heart [Verse 2] We climbed the ridge by a borrowed light Counting satellites against the night Every step made the valley small Every breath said we could risk it all [Pre-Chorus] No promise carved in stone or steel Just the honest ground beneath our heels [Chorus] Take me where the compass turns Past the fields of copper ferns If the path runs out, we’ll make one new With the whole wide world in view I was waiting for a sign to start You put a north inside my heart [Bridge] Maybe courage isn’t loud Maybe it’s a hand held out Maybe every distant hill Asks us who we’re becoming still [Final chorus] Take me where the compass turns Past the fields of copper ferns If the path runs out, we’ll make one new With the whole wide world in view I was waiting for a sign to start You put a north inside my heart [Outro] North inside my heart North inside my heart
