Текст песни
[Verse 1] You tied your red scarf to the cedar sign So I could find the turn when the path divided The map had no name for the ridge ahead Just a pencil mark and a line of red I kept one hand on the worn-out rail Counting every stone where the switchbacks scale Below us, the river cut silver through green A bright little answer to places unseen [Pre-Chorus] You said, “Don’t wait for the ground to promise Your feet will learn what your heart has started” [Chorus] Take the long way, take the open mile Let the unknown meet you with a different smile If the compass trembles, let it point you on There’s a wider world past the edge of the map we’re on Take the long way, leave a little room For the road to change and the wild to bloom I’ll be right beside you when the trail runs thin Every turn we choose is where the story begins [Verse 2] At the pass, the air tasted clean and sharp A hawk held still above the stony dark You pulled your sleeve across your dusty hands And laughed at the clouds like you’d made new plans The summit marker leaned toward the west We touched its rust and caught our breath No grand parade, no golden sign Just two small shadows crossing the line [Pre-Chorus] You said, “Don’t wait for the ground to promise Your feet will learn what your heart has started” [Chorus] Take the long way, take the open mile Let the unknown meet you with a different smile If the compass trembles, let it point you on There’s a wider world past the edge of the map we’re on Take the long way, leave a little room For the road to change and the wild to bloom I’ll be right beside you when the trail runs thin Every turn we choose is where the story begins [Bridge] Maybe brave is only choosing one more step When the view disappears and the path forgets Maybe hope is a mark that we leave behind For the next two travelers to recognize [Final Chorus] Take the long way, take the open mile Let the unknown meet you with a different smile If the compass trembles, let it point you on There’s a wider world past the edge of the map we’re on Take the long way, leave a little room For the road to change and the wild to bloom I’ll be right beside you when the trail runs thin Every turn we choose is where the story begins [Outro] Every turn we choose Every turn we choose Is where the story begins
