Pursuit Lines

Verse

You left a pen on the edge of the table

Next to an open page with your name on it

I wrote one line and erased it

Beneath that, I drew a map of our city

Pre-Chorus

Where do you end up at dawn?

What street are you standing on when the sun comes up like this?

Do you think about me then?

Or is there someone else in your eyes?

Chorus

I'm chasing pursuit lines

Following every sign of what's left behind

Every mile that leads me near

Still feels like I'm searching, not here

Verse

You said something about leaving room to breathe

Something you never had time for, before we would meet

You talked about the city stretching out in every way

But at home there was only one path that stayed

Pre-Chorus

Where do you end up at dawn?

What street are you standing on when the sun comes up like this?

Do you think about me then?

Or is there someone else in your eyes?

Chorus

I'm chasing pursuit lines

Following every sign of what's left behind

Every mile that leads me near

Still feels like I'm searching, not here

Bridge

What if this wasn't an ending at all

But just a map drawn out to somewhere else to call home?

Maybe distance isn't a goodbye but a way to roam

And every step I take gets us closer, in the end.
