[Intro] [arpeggiated clean electric guitar with chorus] (Ooh-ooh, yeah) [Verse 1] [female vocals with heavy reverb] Streetlights paint the pavement in gold tones We're speaking in a language only silence knows This quiet kind of wanting, a fragile art [synth bass and syncopated kick drum enter] You're the echo in the chambers of my heart [falsetto] The echo in the chambers of my heart [chest voice] My heart keeps calling out your name in the dark [Chorus] [full harmony] And I keep chasing the light where you go Through the glow on the road and the open road If the night falls hard, I'll still stay near 'Cause every little shadow leads me here To the place where the world turns slow Where your hands feel like they already know Oh, I could be lost, but I won't part When the pavement in gold is my map to your heart [Verse 2] [female vocals, intimate] Window glass is trembling with the passing cars Your laugh is a spark in the distance of stars We were never promised anything but time Still I find forever in the curve of your smile [stacked vocals] In the curve of your smile, in the curve of your smile [lead] And the moon keeps spinning like a dime in the sky [Pre-Chorus] [build with rising synths] So hold me in the pause between the waves Before the morning pulls us both away If love is just a flicker, let it shine Let it burn through the seams of the night [Chorus] [full harmony] And I keep chasing the light where you go Through the glow on the road and the open road If the night falls hard, I'll still stay near 'Cause every little shadow leads me here To the place where the world turns slow Where your hands feel like they already know Oh, I could be lost, but I won't part When the pavement in gold is my map to your heart [Bridge] [breakdown, airy vocals] If the city disappears in the morning rain I'll still hear your footsteps in the drain And if all we are is a spark that fades Then let me be the ember you can save [soft ad-libs] Save, save, save [build] 'Cause even in the dark, I feel you close Like a secret the midnight already knows [Final Chorus] [full band, wide harmony] And I keep chasing the light where you go Through the glow on the road and the open road If the night falls hard, I'll still stay near 'Cause every little shadow leads me here To the place where the world turns slow Where your hands feel like they already know Oh, I could be lost, but I won't part When the pavement in gold is my map to your heart [repeat and fade] Pavement in gold, my map to your heart Pavement in gold, my map to your heart [Outro] [arpeggiated clean electric guitar with chorus] (Ooh-ooh, yeah)
