[Verse 1] Midnight static on the wire I trace the gridlines, chasing fire Endless highways in my mind I built a world I'm not trapped inside I drew the coastline, mapped the deep Counted the currents while the world would sleep I know the numbers, I know the code But knowing the road isn't walking the road [Pre-Chorus] I hear your voice beneath the noise You don't dismiss the maps, you just say "There's a shore the charts don't show And I'll take you there, but you have to let go" [Chorus] Pull me into the dream Pull me onto the shore Where the water is warm And I don't have to fight anymore Show me what the world could be Not just the lines I've drawn I'll return to the map before long But tonight, pull me into the dream [Verse 2] Violet streets and neon rain I know the storm, I named the pain But you trace my palm, you break the chain Not to destroy it, just to keep me sane The map is real, the work is true But the cartographer needs the ocean too I'll chart the stars another night But right now, I need your light [Pre-Chorus] I've been climbing every height just to name it You're not asking me to leave it, just to pause it I don't have to solve the world tonight I just need to dissolve in your light [Chorus] Pull me into the dream Pull me onto the shore Where the water is warm And I don't have to fight anymore Show me what the world could be Not just the lines I've drawn I'll return to the map before long But tonight, pull me into the dream [Bridge — Saxophone Solo over Synth Pads, Heartbeat Kick] (Instrumental — tearful sax, building intensity) (Spoken, soft, layered under the sax) The map is why I know the way. The water is why I want to stay. Maybe I need both to be whole. Maybe that's the point. (Sax swells, drums build) [Final Chorus — Full Power, Stadium Vocal, Sax Counter-Melody] (Soaring, anthemic) Pull me into the dream! Pull me onto the shore! Where the water is warm And I don't have to fight anymore! Show me what the world could be! Not just the lines I've drawn! I'll return to the map before long! But tonight, pull me into the dream! [Outro — Fading, Single Synth Line, Distant Sax] (Soft, fading) The map will still be there tomorrow. I know. And I'll be ready. But first, the water.
