Lyrics
[Verse 1] You kept a map inside your jacket seam Drawn in blue ink where the old rails bend A paper moon from a dismantled machine And one red mark that said, begin again I found you beneath the planetarium dome Counting the planets they forgot to name You said, “some doors are better left unknown” Then handed me the key without a frame [Pre-Chorus] No grand design, no promise carved in stone Just two loose signals finding their way home [Chorus] Stay where the compass loses north Where the silent satellites drift Let the whole world turn its course We can make a language out of this If the future asks us what we knew Tell it only this was true I was becoming more myself Every time i disappeared with you [Verse 2] You wore a silver thread around your wrist Spun from a wire pulled out of an old piano Said every broken note still keeps a twist A hidden route beneath the final echo We walked past statues facing different seas Their stone eyes fixed on distances apart You traced a constellation on my sleeve And changed the weather in my heart [Pre-Chorus] No grand design, no promise carved in stone Just two loose signals finding their way home [Chorus] Stay where the compass loses north Where the silent satellites drift Let the whole world turn its course We can make a language out of this If the future asks us what we knew Tell it only this was true I was becoming more myself Every time i disappeared with you [Bridge] Maybe we are not a destination Maybe we are motion with a name Two sparks crossing through the dark Leaving different shapes inside the flame [Break] Don’t explain it Don’t contain it Let it move beneath the skin No beginning No remaining Just the place we’re living in [Final chorus] Stay where the compass loses north Where the silent satellites drift Let the whole world turn its course We can make a language out of this If the future asks us what we knew Tell it only this was true I was becoming more myself Every time i disappeared with you [Outro] The map is blank, the signal’s low Still i know which way to go
