More Than One Answer

Songtext

[Verse 1] You keep a paper map folded in your coat Marked the little roads where the river used to go At the corner shop, they still remember your name Though the sign came down and the windows changed [Pre-Chorus] You say, “Some things turn, some things stay” I watch the rain redraw the clay [Chorus] You are more than one answer More than the shape you wore before Every turn opens another door You can be the question and the shore You are more than one answer [Verse 2] You learned to mend a chair with mismatched thread Kept the blue cup with the chipped-off edge On Sunday, you took the long way home Past the old school garden overgrown [Pre-Chorus] You say, “Some things turn, some things stay” And leave a little room either way [Chorus] You are more than one answer More than the shape you wore before Every turn opens another door You can be the question and the shore You are more than one answer [Bridge] If the road bends, let it bend If the old name ends, let it end There’s a seed beneath the stones There’s a place you haven’t known [Final Chorus] You are more than one answer More than the shape you wore before Every turn opens another door You can be the question and the shore You are more than one answer Still becoming, still becoming [Outro] Fold the map, leave one road untold Carry what you love; let the rest unfold
