[Intro | Suspended Energy | Close Dramatic Delivery | Lone Piano + Low String Swell] I packed before I knew the road Left before I knew where you had gone [Verse 1 | Gathering Energy | Conversational Chest Delivery | Pizzicato Strings + Ticking Percussion] They told me you were heading north Someone else swore east by dawn A woman at the station laughed Said men like you don't stay for long I bought a ticket anyway To somewhere I had never seen No address folded in my coat No guarantee of anything [Pre-Chorus | Surging Energy | Rising Mix Delivery | String Climb + Snare Roll] Maybe this is reckless Maybe I should care But every warning sounds like fear When you're no longer there [Chorus | Explosive Energy | Open Belt + Stacked Harmonies | Orchestral Drums + Piano Octaves] So I'm going where the road breaks Going where the signs run out If I have to cross a border If I have to turn around Let the careful people tell me Love should know when to come back I would rather lose the whole world Than live wondering where you're at [Post-Chorus | Defiant Energy | Tight Hook Delivery | Stomps + String Stabs] No map back No map back If you're somewhere on this earth I'll find the path [Verse 2 | Driving Energy | Conversational Chest Delivery | Pulsing Piano + Low Strings] I slept two hours in a chair Then caught the first train out at five A storm shut down the mountain road I found another way to drive Your old friend said you'd crossed the coast A bartender had heard your name Every lead became another town Every town became the same [Pre-Chorus | Surging Energy | Rising Mix Delivery | Brass Lift + String Run] Maybe this is foolish Maybe that's the point I spent too long protecting things That never gave me choice [Chorus | Explosive Energy | Open Belt + Stacked Harmonies | Orchestral Drums + Piano Octaves] So I'm going where the road breaks Going where the signs run out If I have to cross a border If I have to turn around Let the careful people tell me Love should know when to come back I would rather lose the whole world Than live wondering where you're at [Bridge | Suspended Energy | Intimate Dramatic Delivery | Solo Piano + Low Cello] What if you don't want me? What if I arrive too late? What if all this distance Only proves what I should face? Then I'll take the answer standing I can live with what is true But I cannot spend forever Doing nothing over you [Build | Accelerating Energy | Urgent Chest Delivery | Timpani Build + Rising Strings] So tear the ticket Burn the plan Close the highway I'll still stand At whatever door Whatever shore Until I know for sure [Chorus | Peak Energy | Full Belt + Layered Harmonies | Full Orchestra + Driving Drums] I'm going where the road breaks Going where the signs run out If I have to cross an ocean If I have to scream your name out loud Let the careful people tell me Love should know when to come back I would rather risk the whole world Than spend my life afraid of that [Outro | Resolving Energy | Close Dramatic Delivery | Piano Return + String Resolve] No map back No safe way through Just one road left And it leads to you [End]
