Lyrics
[Verse 1] You drew a paper map across the mountain range With a blue ink river bending out of place We followed little arrows where the wild grass grew Every wrong direction made the world feel new [Pre-Chorus] At the ridge, the valley opened wide You laughed and said, “there’s nothing left to hide” [Chorus] We are learning the shape of the open sky Taking every long way just to see what’s inside If the compass keeps turning, let it turn us along There’s a road in the distance and a reason to go on [Verse 2] A fox watched from the bracken, copper in the sun Then vanished through the thistle before the day was done We marked the little moment with a circle and a star Proof that wonder finds you wherever you are [Pre-Chorus] At the ridge, the valley opened wide You laughed and said, “there’s nothing left to hide” [Chorus] We are learning the shape of the open sky Taking every long way just to see what’s inside If the compass keeps turning, let it turn us along There’s a road in the distance and a reason to go on [Bridge] No perfect line, no promised view Just changing ground beneath our shoes The farther out, the more i know A heart can grow by letting go [Final chorus] We are learning the shape of the open sky Taking every long way just to see what’s inside If the compass keeps turning, let it turn us along There’s a road in the distance and a reason to go on [Outro] A road in the distance A reason to go on
