Unnamed Road

[Verse 1] I wake with a map in my mouth Folded wrong Like a letter I never sent I follow the steam from the bus stop drain The cracked blue bowl of the sky The dent in my palm where the day begins Something is calling me Not a word Not a face Just a pull Under the ribs Like a hand in tall grass [Pre-Chorus] I lean in I let it lead Past the corner store Past the gravel lot I don't need a name yet I just need the ache To keep its shape [Chorus] I’m chasing the unnamed (unnamed) I’m chasing the unnamed I feel it in my bones I’m chasing the unnamed (unnamed) If you see me moving on I’m already halfway home [Verse 2] There’s mud on my shoes From a path I forgot I knew A red kite caught in the wire A child laughing through a screen door Every sign says wait Every old fear says stay But my hands keep opening Like they recognize the rain I pass the field with the broken fence The dog that never barks The river chewing quiet stones And I swear it nods at me [Pre-Chorus] So I breathe slow I breathe deep Let the night peel back Let the distance speak I don't need a map I don't need proof I only need the pulse That keeps me true [Chorus] I’m chasing the unnamed (unnamed) I’m chasing the unnamed I feel it in my bones I’m chasing the unnamed (unnamed) If you see me moving on I’m already halfway home [Bridge] Maybe it’s peace Maybe it’s a face Maybe it’s the version of me I lost in a crowded place So I keep going Soft but sure With my heart like a lantern Held close to the door [Final Chorus] I’m chasing the unnamed (unnamed) I’m chasing the unnamed I feel it in my bones I’m chasing the unnamed (unnamed) When it finally calls my name I’ll know it was mine all along
