Choose the Sky

[Verse 1]
You keep a map folded in your coat
With every safe road crossed in red
The compass needle shakes its head
You laugh and choose the dark instead
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a seam in every careful plan
A little room where we can slip
[Chorus]
Let’s leave the circle we were given
Let the blue turn strange and wide
If we come apart, we come apart
With our own hands on the tide
No borrowed route, no promised landing
Just the nerve to choose the sky
[Verse 2]
You set your watch beside the door
And let the seconds lose their claim
We take the names we used to wear
And trade them for a little flame
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a seam in every careful plan
A little room where we can slip
[Chorus]
Let’s leave the circle we were given
Let the blue turn strange and wide
If we come apart, we come apart
With our own hands on the tide
No borrowed route, no promised landing
Just the nerve to choose the sky
[Bridge]
Not fearless, no
Just done with standing still
A match held in the open air
A choice that’s ours to make
[Final Chorus]
Let’s leave the circle we were given
Let the blue turn strange and wide
If we come apart, we come apart
With our own hands on the tide
No borrowed route, no promised landing
We choose the risk, we choose the sky
[Outro]
We choose the sky
We choose the sky
