[Verse 1] You left your matchbook by the well The paper softened in the heat I held it till the ink ran out And dust came tapping at my feet [Pre-Chorus] The road kept turning under us Your hand was warm against the glass I said your name into the wind And watched the dry hills answer back [Chorus] Stay till the mountains lose their edges Stay till the red earth cools to blue I have no map beyond this moment Only this road, and only you [Verse 2] At dawn we found a broken gate A tin cup shining in the sand You laughed and tucked your hair away Then drew a river on my hand [Pre-Chorus] The dark was wide, the mileposts few The engine shivered, then ran true I felt the whole horizon bend As if the world could start again [Chorus] Stay till the mountains lose their edges Stay till the red earth cools to blue I have no map beyond this moment Only this road, and only you [Bridge] If morning finds us far apart Keep that small river on your skin I’ll follow every crooked line Back to the place we’re breathing in [Final Chorus] Stay till the mountains lose their edges Stay till the red earth opens through I have no map beyond this moment Only this road—only you Only this road—only you [Outro] The matchbook’s gone, the hills remain Your name still warm beneath the rain
