The Horizon Moves

[Verse 1] I traced a line in chalk On the station floor Told myself, “There it is” Right behind that door I took three steps, then four And it moved again Like a kite in the wind Tied to my own hand [Pre-Chorus] Every time I get close It slips past my shoes Every time I say, “done” The sky adds a blue [Chorus] The map keeps moving The map keeps moving I’m not lost, I’m learning I’m not late, I’m going The map keeps moving The map keeps moving What I called “finish” Just grew a new meaning [Verse 2] I marked the year on glass Watched the numbers fade Built a little house Out of what I’d saved But the yard got bigger Than the whole front lot And the road kept asking For what I forgot [Pre-Chorus] Every time I get close It slips past my shoes Every time I say, “done” The sky adds a blue [Chorus] The map keeps moving The map keeps moving I’m not lost, I’m learning I’m not late, I’m going The map keeps moving The map keeps moving What I called “finish” Just grew a new meaning [Bridge] Maybe that’s the secret Maybe that’s the prize Not a final answer Just more to recognize A bend in the morning A door in the rain A hand on my shoulder Saying, “Try again” [Final Chorus] The map keeps moving The map keeps moving I’m not lost, I’m learning I’m not late, I’m going The map keeps moving The map keeps moving What I called “finish” Just grew a new meaning The map keeps moving (The map keeps moving) And I keep smiling Because the road is breathing
