Lyrics
[Verse 1] You drew a border on the atlas Where the old roads lose their names Pinned a red thread through the salt flats Just to see what still remained I found your message in the margin Written sideways, ink gone blue It said, “Don’t ask the map for pardon It only knows what people knew” [Pre-Chorus] So I left the marked coordinates Took the long way through the dust Every wrong turn felt less foreign Every silence earned my trust [Chorus] Meet me where the compass falters Past the reach of any sign We can trade our borrowed answers For a language of our own design No need to promise where it takes us No need to call the distance kind Meet me where the compass falters And let the unknown change our minds [Verse 2] There’s a blue train under the mountain Running empty through the stone Its conductor counts the thunder Like a code he learned alone You said certainty is heavy I said maybe that’s the point Then you laughed and pulled me steady By the loose thread of my voice [Pre-Chorus] Now the ground keeps rearranging But your hand still finds my sleeve All the doors I feared were closing Were just ways to make me leave [Chorus] Meet me where the compass falters Past the reach of any sign We can trade our borrowed answers For a language of our own design No need to promise where it takes us No need to call the distance kind Meet me where the compass falters And let the unknown change our minds [Bridge] If the north goes missing, let it If the sky forgets its hue I’ll be there beneath the signal Making something strange and true And if the map turns into water We won’t need a line to read I’ll follow every quiet current That keeps pulling you to me [Final Chorus] Meet me where the compass falters Past the reach of any sign We can trade our borrowed answers For a language of our own design No need to promise where it takes us No need to call the distance kind Meet me where the compass falters And let the unknown change our minds [Outro] Let the unknown change our minds Let the unknown change our minds
