Lyrics
[Verse 1] You drew a map in sidewalk chalk Across the square where strangers walk Blue rivers winding past my feet A paper sun, a cardboard street [Pre-Chorus] You said, “Pick a place you’ve never been” So I spun the compass with a grin [Chorus] Let’s take the long way past the harbor cranes Count every color on the passing trains No need to know what waits beyond the view The world gets wider when I’m next to you [Verse 2] A kite went loose above the park Cutting a bright line through the dark We chased it laughing down the hill Until the whole wide sky stood still [Pre-Chorus] You found a shell beside the track And held it like a promise to come back [Chorus] Let’s take the long way past the harbor cranes Count every color on the passing trains No need to know what waits beyond the view The world gets wider when I’m next to you [Bridge] If every road keeps changing shape We’ll learn the turns and share the weight A little brave, a little new There’s more horizon left to choose [Final Chorus] Let’s take the long way past the harbor cranes Count every color on the passing trains No need to know what waits beyond the view The world gets wider when I’m next to you The world gets wider when I’m next to you [Outro] You draw a map, I choose the blue And find another road with you
