Where the Horizon Sings

Verse

Paper lanterns hanging from the railing down

Fingers tracing lines on an old wooden door

Sunlight catching dust that nobody sweeps now

We never said goodbye, we just walked out through the screen

Your footsteps leading me down to the waterline

Where every wave still carries a shadow of your name

I kept this photograph in my pocket like a map

Of where we were and how far I'd come since then

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what's waiting for us, past that line

Is it more stars or is it just our shadows again?

Do we chase the sunrise or do we stay right here

Where the horizon keeps on singing in my ear

So hold my hand against the light that cuts through the sea

We'll find out where the sunset takes you and me

Chorus

Hold this line, don't let it break

We were never done, we just walked away

The waves keep calling us back to that same place

Where the horizon sings our names in an endless refrain

Every wave carries a shadow of your name

Hold this line, hold this light

We'll chase the sunrise till the stars come right

So don't let go now, don't lose my hand

In the dark before dawn, where only we can stand

Verse 2

Your grandmother used to tell us stories by the shore

How the sea remembers every person who walked out before us evermore

We never said goodnight, just that one word: 'run

Now I'm running back to find where you started and begun

Through streets lined with candles in every windowpane

Every door swinging open like a frame to reclaim our name

I still hear your voice on the wind as it blows through the trees

Telling me we're not done yet, we just need a little more time to see

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what's waiting for us, past that line

Is it more stars or is it just our shadows again?

Do we chase the sunrise or do we stay right here

Where the horizon keeps on singing in my ear

So hold my hand against the light that cuts through the sea

We'll find out where the sunset takes you and me

Chorus

Hold this line, don't let it break

We were never done, we just walked away

The waves keep calling us back to that same place

Where the horizon sings our names in an endless refrain

Every wave carries a shadow of your name

Hold this line, hold this light

We'll chase the sunrise till the stars come right

So don't let go now, don't lose my hand

In the dark before dawn, where only we can stand

Bridge

Maybe we weren't lost, maybe we were just exploring

Every shadow that fell across our skin was a map of what we'd store in

I kept this photograph like a promise to myself and you

That someday we'll find the sunrise that keeps us brand new

You're still walking out past the harbor signs

And I'm still waiting here, with hands wide open to the skies

Chorus

Hold this line, don't let it break

We were never done, we just walked away

The waves keep calling us back to that same place

Where the horizon sings our names in an endless refrain

Every wave carries a shadow of your name

Hold this line, hold this light
