[Verse 1]
The blue line died at the county sign
Our last marked turn was miles behind
A paper map on the passenger seat
Folded wrong, but it still has a crease
You say, “Keep the headlights on the ridge”
I watch the guardrail, I watch the ditch
No signal, no voice, no friendly arrow
Just your hand pointing past the fallow
[Pre-Chorus]
If every road forgets our names
We’ll make a path through heat and rain
[Chorus]
We are heading home with no map to trust
Past the broken signs and the red clay dust
If the compass fails, if the towers go dark
I’ll follow your breath, I’ll follow your heart
No road can keep us, no night can stay
We’ll find our way home anyway
[Verse 2]
A rusted gate leans into the weeds
The engine coughs, but it still believes
You mark the windshield with a grease-pencil line
“Turn when the old church loses its shine”
The hills close in like a tightening fist
Every wrong turn becomes a risk
But you laugh when the gravel starts to slide
And pull my fear to the passenger side
[Pre-Chorus]
If every road forgets our names
We’ll make a path through heat and rain
[Chorus]
We are heading home with no map to trust
Past the broken signs and the red clay dust
If the compass fails, if the towers go dark
I’ll follow your breath, I’ll follow your heart
No road can keep us, no night can stay
We’ll find our way home anyway
[Bridge]
Let the wires fall silent
Let the highway split in two
There is one thing still certain:
I am not lost when I’m with you
[Breakdown]
No map
No marker
No turning back
We choose
We climb
We cut through black
[Final Chorus]
We are heading home with no map to trust
Past the broken signs and the red clay dust
If the compass fails, if the towers go dark
I’ll follow your breath, I’ll follow your heart
No road can keep us, no night can stay
We’ll find our way home anyway
[Outro]
The porch light waits beyond the trees
The engine cools, the air turns clean
No map could show what brought us through
But every mile led me to you
