Lyrics
[Verse 1] You drew a map in blue across the back of your hand Three little circles where the wildflowers stand We took the long way past the quarry stone Counting every mile like it could be our own [Pre-Chorus] No one can tell us what the turning means We’re learning how to trust the in-between [Chorus] Run with the compass spinning Laugh when the trail gets thin Every wrong direction Can lead to a place we’ve never been Hold on to the question Let it pull you through The world is wide and waiting And I’m wide awake with you [Verse 2] A red kite climbed above the telephone lines Caught by the wind, then vanished out of sight You said, “Some things are brave because they bend” I watched the thread go loose, then rise again [Pre-Chorus] No one can promise where the road will turn But every step is something we can learn [Chorus] Run with the compass spinning Laugh when the trail gets thin Every wrong direction Can lead to a place we’ve never been Hold on to the question Let it pull you through The world is wide and waiting And I’m wide awake with you [Bridge] If the mountain hides the view We’ll make a higher point of you If the signal fades to blue I’ll keep the north alive in you [Final Chorus] Run with the compass spinning Laugh when the trail gets thin Every wrong direction Can lead to a place we’ve never been Hold on to the question Let it pull you through The world is wide and waiting And I’m wide awake with you [Outro] Wide awake with you Still finding something new
