Chasing Places

[Verse 1] I traced the coast by bus window glass Green rice fields, red dust, then midnight pass Your laugh in my ear like a folded map We missed our stop and we never looked back [Pre-Chorus] Every stamp is a door Every road asks for more I was built for the drift But your hand makes it click [Chorus] Take my name across the border Put my shoes on every shore One life, all these rooms And I want the ones with you You turn miles into gold You turn maybe into more One heart, two passports We make every place a home [Verse 2] We ate hot bread on a cracked blue curb Watched cranes lift steel over a river blur You bought fruit from a woman by the train Then taught me her smile in a different name [Pre-Chorus] Every map bends for us Every wrong turn is trust I was chasing the edge Now I’m racing your step [Chorus] Take my name across the border Put my shoes on every shore One life, all these rooms And I want the ones with you You turn miles into gold You turn maybe into more One heart, two passports We make every place a home [Bridge] From fjords to markets From desert to rain Your shoulder, my anchor Through language and name If I’m lost in the crowd You still find my face Adventure is louder When you’re part of the place [Final Chorus] Take my name across the border Put my shoes on every shore One life, all these rooms And I want the ones with you You turn miles into gold You turn maybe into more One heart, two passports We make every place a home Take my name across the border We make every place a home
