Текст песни
[Verse 1] You found a map in the back of a drawer Drawn in blue ink by a hand from before Three little circles, one unfinished road A place with no name and a promise to hold You traced the line with your thumbnail slow Past a river that nobody knows Not chasing a legend, not running away Just giving the lost part a reason to stay [Pre-Chorus] So fold up the doubt, let the old paper bend Some doors begin where the dead ends end [Chorus] Take the long way, let the compass spin There’s a wider world waiting to let you in If the road breaks open, let your heart decide Hope is a match you can carry inside Take the long way, leave the numbers behind Somewhere ahead, you’ll meet your own mind No perfect answer, no finish-line pose Just a new direction beneath your feet as it goes [Verse 2] At the edge of the town stood a rust-colored sign Half the letters gone, but the arrow still shined A freight train thundered like a question below And the hills held their breath in a green afterglow You traded your watch for a seat on the line Let the hours lose shape, let the distance unwind With a name for tomorrow and dust on your shoes You learned every leaving can teach you to choose [Pre-Chorus] So fold up the doubt, let the old paper bend Some doors begin where the dead ends end [Chorus] Take the long way, let the compass spin There’s a wider world waiting to let you in If the road breaks open, let your heart decide Hope is a match you can carry inside Take the long way, leave the numbers behind Somewhere ahead, you’ll meet your own mind No perfect answer, no finish-line pose Just a new direction beneath your feet as it goes [Bridge] And if you lose the line in the tall grass Listen for the pulse beneath the past Every wrong turn leaves a mark you can read Every quiet mile makes room for a seed [Final Chorus] Take the long way, let the compass spin There’s a wider world waiting to let you in When the road breaks open, let your heart decide Hope is a match you can carry inside Take the long way, with the horizon wide Bring every question, let none of them hide No perfect answer, no finish-line pose Just a new direction beneath your feet as it goes [Outro] A new direction beneath your feet A new direction, steady and sweet
