The air is warm, but the light is leaving fast,
A honeyed glow that we both know won't last.
The world below is turning grey and cold,
But up above, a future starts to unfold.
I watch your face against the fading hue,
And wonder if you're seeing what I see, too.
(Pre-Chorus)
They told us dreams require certain light,
And that the stars only belong to night.
But every rule feels quiet when you're near,
And every doubt I carried disappears.
The crescent moon is just a fragile sign.
(Chorus)
Look how the cosmos breaks the golden line,
A clear, bright sky that shouldn't be defined.
The moment holds us, hanging in between,
The warmest ending and the sharpest, starlit scene.
You are the Golden Compass leading me home,
In this half-light where we're finally not alone.
(Verse 2)
The very first bright star cuts through the blue,
A tiny pinprick promising the truth.
It feels like courage, quiet, sudden, deep,
A solemn promise that the heavens keep.
I feel your hand, a whisper in the air,
The only anchor that I need right there.
(Pre-Chorus)
They told us dreams require certain light,
And that the stars only belong to night.
But every rule feels quiet when you're near,
And every doubt I carried disappears.
The crescent moon is just a fragile sign.
(Chorus)
Look how the cosmos breaks the golden line,
A clear, bright sky that shouldn't be defined.
The moment holds us, hanging in between,
The warmest ending and the sharpest, starlit scene.
You are the Golden Compass leading me home,
In this half-light where we're finally not alone.
(Bridge)
Let the sky decide the shade of blue we wear,
We don't belong to sunset, nor the darkness there.
We just belong to this, this fragile overlap,
A space on earth that never needed a map.
(Outro - fades with acoustic guitar and light vocals)
The Golden Compass...
Leading me through...
The impossible light, with you...
Not alone.
