(Intro) (Verse 1) Tried to chart this on a graph, a line that's steep and true, But numbers fail and logic falters when I'm next to you. You're not a flash of lightning, desperately here and gone, You're the steady, breaking dawn that every morning leans upon. (Pre-Chorus) In the chaos and the quiet, through every single space, You're the constant in my variable, my anchor and my grace! So let the theories all be broken, let the old equations lie... (Chorus) I'LL BE YOUR TRUEST NORTH WHEN ALL YOUR HOPE RUNS OUT! THE ANSWER TO THE PRAYER YOU NEVER MEANT TO SHOUT! I'LL BE THE PEACE THAT HOLDS YOU, THE SUN AFTER THE RAIN! THE SHELTER FROM THE THUNDER, THE CURE FOR EVERY PAIN! (Yeah!) I'LL BE THE TRUTH YOU STAND ON, THE FIGHT LEFT IN THE FRAY! I'LL BE THE LOVE THAT LIFTS YOU—I'M NEVER WALKING AWAY! (Verse 2) You're the sentence in the story that makes the conflict cease, The patient, tidal moonlight that brings my soul to peace. A mundane, perfect magic in a slow and sure-fire art, Yeah, you're the skeleton key fitting the lockbox of my heart! (Pre-Chorus 2) And I'm the shelf of worn-out books you know by heart and crease, Praying for a million more sunrises with you, my masterpiece... (Chorus) I'LL BE YOUR TRUEST NORTH WHEN ALL YOUR HOPE RUNS OUT! THE ANSWER TO THE PRAYER YOU NEVER MEANT TO SHOUT! (Tell me!) I'LL BE THE PEACE THAT HOLDS YOU, THE SUN AFTER THE RAIN! THE SHELTER FROM THE THUNDER, THE CURE FOR EVERY PAIN! I'LL BE THE TRUTH YOU STAND ON, THE FIGHT LEFT IN THE FRAY! I'LL BE THE LOVE THAT LIFTS YOU—I'M NEVER WALKING AWAY! (Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break) (Bridge) I was the wandering wind... you are the song I had to sing. I was the cracked concrete... you are the wild and stubborn spring. I was a spark alone and cold... you are the fire I become! I was a story left untold... YOU ARE THE SUM! (Instrumental Crescendo) (Final Chorus) I'LL BE YOUR TRUEST NORTH! (NORTH!) THE ANSWER TO YOUR PRAYER! (PRAYER!) I'LL BE THE PEACE, THE SUN, YOUR SHELTER FROM THE THUNDER! (Your cure!) I'LL BE THE TRUTH, THE FIGHT! I'LL BE THE LOVE THAT LIFTS YOU HIGH! I'M NEVER, NEVER WALKING AWAY! (Outro) ...Your always.
