[Verse 1: Male]
You’re a book with missing pages, a story left in flight
A silhouette against the glass in the middle of the night
I’m the ink that’s drying slowly, trying hard to leave a mark
While you’re a match that’s flickering, defying all the dark
You see a thousand exits where I only see the floor
I’m counting up the reasons while you’re reaching for the door
[Pre-Chorus: Both – Harmony]
And we’re tracing the cracks in the paint on the wall
Waiting for the gravity to finally make the call
It’s a heavy kind of quiet, the kind that leaves a bruise
Standing at the threshold of the life we built just to lose
[Chorus: Both – Harmony]
And we’re walking on the edges of the map we never drew
I’m looking for the horizon, I’m looking back at you
Is there a middle ground where the wind doesn’t blow?
Where you don’t have to chase, and I don’t have to go?
Two different directions, but the same heart center-true
Somewhere on the edges of the map we never drew
[Verse 2: Female]
The walls here have a memory of everything we’ve said
But there’s a whole wide world of colors living in my head
I love the way you hold me, like a secret you can keep
But sometimes I’m a mountain, and the climb is getting steep
I don’t want to leave you, but I’m scared to stay the same
I’m a wild, rising river; you’re a quiet summer rain
[Verse 3: Both – Alternating Lines]
(Male): I bought a frame for a picture we haven't even took
(Female): I’m packing up the chapters of a different kind of book
(Male): You’ve got your keys in your hand like a weapon or a shield
(Female): I’m just looking for the feeling that a heavy heart can yield
(Both): Trying to finish the conversation that doesn’t have a start
[Bridge: Male & Female – Overlapping]
(Male): I’ll build a house with windows facing west...
(Female): I’ll find a road that never suggests a rest...
(Male): Holding onto daylight just to keep you in my sight...
(Female): I’ll send a postcard home to you every single night...
(Both): How do we love when the distance is the only thing in sight?
[Final Chorus: Both – Powerful Harmony]
Yeah, we’re walking on the edges of the map we never drew
I’m looking for the horizon, I’m looking back at you
Is there a middle ground where the wind doesn’t blow?
Where you don’t have to chase, and I don’t have to go?
Two different directions, but the same heart center-true
Somewhere on the edges of the map we never drew
[Outro: Both]
(Male): I’m still standing in the kitchen...
(Female): I’m already at the gate...
(Male): I’ll leave the pilot light on...
(Female): It’s getting late, it’s getting late...
(Both): Just another line on a map we never drew.
(Male): You were the north I followed...
(Female): But the wind is turning cold.
