[Verse 1] I drew a line, then let it bend Past the old gate, around the bend A paper map can miss the fun Of seeing where the wild roads run [Pre-Chorus] No need to know the final place I’ll take the turn that catches my gaze [Chorus] Let the compass spin, let it spin I don’t need to know where I’ll land Let the compass spin, pull me in There’s a whole wide world I haven’t planned If the needle dances, let it dance Every wrong-way turn’s a chance Let the compass spin, let it spin I’m already on my way again [Verse 2] The creek cuts through the market square A boy sells oranges by the stairs I trade my timetable for a taste And take the long road without haste [Pre-Chorus] No need to name the distant shore I’ll follow what I’m curious for [Chorus] Let the compass spin, let it spin I don’t need to know where I’ll land Let the compass spin, pull me in There’s a whole wide world I haven’t planned If the needle dances, let it dance Every wrong-way turn’s a chance Let the compass spin, let it spin I’m already on my way again [Bridge] Maybe the answer’s not a place Maybe it’s the changing pace I can wander, I can begin With the little wheel turning within [Final Chorus] Let the compass spin, let it spin I don’t need to know where I’ll land Let the compass spin, pull me in There’s a whole wide world I haven’t planned If the needle dances, let it dance Every wrong-way turn’s a chance Let the compass spin, let it spin I’m already on my way again [Outro] Let it spin I’m on my way again
