[Verse 1] I found a paper kite beneath the bleachers Blue ink spirals on the tail Someone wrote, “Aim past the traffic” So I followed where it sailed Over fences, over fire escapes Past the water tower’s rust Every turn became a question Every answer became dust [Pre-Chorus] You said, “Don’t wait for perfect weather” I said, “I’m already gone” With a compass made of laughter And a map that wouldn’t hold on [Chorus] Pull me higher, pull me wide Past the wires and the county line If the whole sky changes color I’ll be ready for the climb Take my hand and count to seven Let the blue become our guide I was built for open distance I was built to change my mind [Verse 2] There were names carved into sandstone There were arrows painted gold A red fox crossed the gravel Like it knew what not to hold You kept pace beside the river Skipping stones against the bend Every little splash of silver Made the far road feel like friend [Pre-Chorus] You said, “The road is never certain” I said, “That’s the sweetest part” We were carrying our courage Like a match inside the dark [Chorus] Pull me higher, pull me wide Past the wires and the county line If the whole sky changes color I’ll be ready for the climb Take my hand and count to seven Let the blue become our guide I was built for open distance I was built to change my mind [Bridge] When the compass starts to tremble When the trail divides in two I will listen for the hillside I will listen back to you No promise needs a landing No horizon needs a name We can leave the map unfinished And still know why we came [Final Chorus] Pull me higher, pull me wide Past the wires and the county line If the whole sky changes color I’ll be ready for the climb Take my hand and count to seven Let the blue become our guide I was built for open distance I was built to change my mind [Outro] Higher, higher, open distance Bright as anything we find
