[Verse 1] The lockdown held its line But summer stretched in pale light Tallinn barely slept at all At night the sky stayed bright The city took a breath Slowly through the mask and rain Late August made it real Movement came back again [Pre-Chorus] Tests in hand, papers clear We said, all right, let's go Tallinn, Paris, then London One more line and then we know [Chorus] We kept moving We kept moving Through the pale summer We kept moving We kept moving Till the world felt open again [Verse 2] On the twenty-fourth, London City Claire was at the door No comment, just that look She'd read this thing before Embraer south to Málaga Then Miami in the dark Bogotá took us home Hot and loud and full of spark [Pre-Chorus] The city didn't ask It just pulled us into street Warm air, hard edges Life came back on both feet [Chorus] We kept moving We kept moving Through the pale summer We kept moving We kept moving Till the world felt open again [Verse 3] October brought the notary A quiet little room Thomas and Lucía signed No drama, no bloom Terms had long been settled Since that February line They shook hands in the corridor And left it there behind [Bridge] December turned to New York Cold and half-decorated Masked up in every room Still, nobody hesitated On the twenty-third, Gabi came Easy in the season's light Sylvia in the same orbit No friction in the night [Chorus] We kept moving We kept moving Through the pale summer We kept moving We kept moving Till the world felt open again [Verse 4] On Christmas Eve, Bogotá Then Sylvia went alone JFK to Rome and south To Carbonia, home She'd left in March a girl On a spring-break wind Came back with teal-dyed hair And something harder to pin [Outro] Hazel eyes and teal hair At the family gate Home looked different now But it still knew her name We kept moving We kept moving Till the world felt open again
