Текст песни
[Verse 1] You drew a map on the back of a ticket Three blue marks where the river goes thin Said, “Meet me where the antennas quit blinking Bring no proof of the places you've been” I crossed the rail yard under borrowed thunder Past the locked-up arcade and the freight line bend Your silver coat caught the sodium flicker Like a secret learning how to defend [Pre-Chorus] You had a name for every exit I had a pulse I couldn't hide We let the whole town keep its questions And took the long way to the other side [Chorus] If we disappear, let it be deliberate No headline, no trail, no alibi You put your hand where the compass trembles I put my doubt in the undertow and watched it die If we disappear, let it be deliberate Leave the old coordinates behind Tonight the world can keep its distance I want the unknown with your shadow next to mine [Verse 2] At the floodgate, you traded your watchband For a little brass key from a man in red He never looked up, just counted the seconds Then pointed toward the water ahead We found a service boat sleeping in weeds Its engine coughed like it knew our names You laughed when the lock gave way beneath us And every warning light turned green in the rain [Pre-Chorus] There was a bridge with half its rails missing There was a tunnel breathing out heat You said, “The safest road is only safer For people who were never trying to leave” [Chorus] If we disappear, let it be deliberate No headline, no trail, no alibi You put your hand where the compass trembles I put my doubt in the undertow and watched it die If we disappear, let it be deliberate Leave the old coordinates behind Tonight the world can keep its distance I want the unknown with your shadow next to mine [Bridge] Maybe freedom is a false alarm Maybe courage is a borrowed coat Maybe every locked horizon Has a loose wire underneath the road But you looked back once, and I knew it Not because the future promised gold You just smiled like the door was opening And I was tired of being told [Final Chorus] If we disappear, let it be deliberate No headline, no trail, no alibi You put your hand where the compass trembles I put my doubt in the undertow and watched it die If we disappear, let it be deliberate Leave the old coordinates behind Tonight the world can keep its distance I want the unknown with your shadow next to mine [Outro] No map, no witness, no return Just the river turning under us No map, no witness, no return Your hand steady when the current turns
