Lyrics
[Verse 1] You drew a map in chalk across the harbor stone Three crooked arrows pointing somewhere unknown The tide erased the first before we could decide So we followed where the gulls were turning wide [Pre-Chorus] No promise in our pockets No answer in the blue Just one small spark of courage And miles to carry through [Chorus] Go where the compass trembles Go where the wild paths bend Every wrong direction Can be a way to begin If the horizon keeps on moving Then we can move there too I’ll take the open distance As long as i’m with you [Verse 2] We crossed a field of clover underneath a radio tower Counted every silver plane and guessed its final hour A fox slipped through the grasses, quick as a secret sign And all the scattered pieces fell in step with mine [Pre-Chorus] The world is not a straight line It curves beyond our view There’s more than one tomorrow Waiting to break through [Chorus] Go where the compass trembles Go where the wild paths bend Every wrong direction Can be a way to begin If the horizon keeps on moving Then we can move there too I’ll take the open distance As long as i’m with you [Bridge] Maybe the point is not arriving Maybe the point is being changed By every hill we never planned for By every beautiful mistake [Final chorus] Go where the compass trembles Go where the wild paths bend Every wrong direction Can be a way to begin If the horizon keeps on moving Then we can move there too I’ll take the open distance As long as i’m with you [Outro] As long as i’m with you The map can stay untrue
