Lyrics
[Verse 1] You drew a crooked map in chalk Across the old observatory lot Three red marks and a paper sun A route for where the wild things run I followed past the rusted rail With a compass needle set to fail Every wrong turn widened the view Until the whole blue world led back to you [Pre-Chorus] We don't need a perfect line Just a little nerve and borrowed time [Chorus] Send me where the tall grass bends Where the road forgets its end I'll carry every spark we find Like small bright planets in the mind If the horizon changes shape We'll learn another way to brave Hand in hand beneath the open blue The world keeps making room for you [Verse 2] A hawk rose up from the canyon floor And circled once, then circled more You laughed like you had known its name I felt the distance lose its claim We crossed the bridge of painted steel With nothing certain left to feel But every footstep, every mile Turned the unknown into a style [Pre-Chorus] We don't need a perfect line Just a little nerve and borrowed time [Chorus] Send me where the tall grass bends Where the road forgets its end I'll carry every spark we find Like small bright planets in the mind If the horizon changes shape We'll learn another way to brave Hand in hand beneath the open blue The world keeps making room for you [Bridge] When the compass spins, let it spin There are more beginnings waiting in No map can hold the rising tide No fear can make the earth divide [Final Chorus] Send me where the tall grass bends Where the road forgets its end I'll carry every spark we find Like small bright planets in the mind If the horizon changes shape We'll learn another way to brave Hand in hand beneath the open blue The world keeps making room for you [Outro] The world keeps making room The world keeps making room for you
