[Verse 1] The city kept its windows lit Like nothing ever changed The roads knew where they wanted me The signs had all been named I learned the shape of ordinary The hours and the doors But every map felt finished And I wanted something more [Pre-Chorus] Then through the blue Beyond the rail Past the last light Into the pale [Chorus] You were sitting where no road went With the cold grass bending low Like you found a hidden ending No one else had thought to know I was never out there searching Still I knew you when I saw Someone living past the border Someone proof the world stayed open [Verse 2] The lighthouse turned behind you Through the weather and the dark You looked less like you were waiting More like you had left a mark Not only on the coastline Not only in the rain You had gone somewhere in thought And had returned without a name [Pre-Chorus] No path behind No path ahead Just sea and sky And what you said [Chorus] You were sitting where no road went With the cold grass bending low Like you found a hidden ending No one else had thought to know I was never out there searching Still I knew you when I saw Someone living past the border Someone proof the world stayed open [Bridge] Maybe we meet for one night Maybe one life Maybe only long enough To change the shape of mine I do not need forever To know the moment mattered Some people enter quietly And leave the whole world wider [Final Chorus] You were sitting where no road went While the lighthouse crossed the sea And for one suspended moment Every future looked at me I was never out there searching I had only learned to see Someone living past the border Where the world was still becoming [Outro] No road No sign Just the weather And your eyes No end No closure Only proof The world stayed open
