Echoes Across the Maybes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was late for my own life Missing trains Missing days Missing signs Coffee cold in a paper cup Same gray corner Same worn lines Then a flicker on a cracked screen Just a name and a laugh in the dark You were oceans I had never seen Still you landed like a spark [Pre-Chorus] How can a voice through the static Feel like a hand on my face? How can a map full of distance Fold into one small place? [Chorus] [Choir] A thousand miles of maybe And somehow you found me still Across the rivers Roads And red-eyed flights You cut through every hill We turned a world of maybes Into one bright Whispered "stay" A thousand miles of maybe And you loved me anyway [Verse 2] Now my suitcase knows your ceiling Every mile marked in ink on my skin Border guards and long lines of questions All fade when your door pulls me in We eat takeout on the floorboards Share our ghosts Let the daylight confess You say "Funny how far we wandered Just to fit like this A mess on a mattress" [Pre-Chorus] How can a screen in the midnight Grow into skin Into grace? How did a dot on the atlas Become my safest place? [Chorus] [Choir] A thousand miles of maybe And somehow you found me still Across the rivers Roads And red-eyed flights You cut through every hill We turned a world of maybes Into one bright Whispered "stay" A thousand miles of maybe And you loved me anyway [Bridge] [Choir] All those days I walked alone Thinking love had lost my address You were tracing your own roads home Through the same old loneliness [Solo over choir] Now our lines are interlacing Every mile A thread we tie What were the chances? Two scattered hearts Choosing the same sky (oh) [Chorus] [Key change – full choir] A thousand miles of maybe All falling into place Every airport Echo Empty night Led me to your face We turned a world of maybes Into one clear Shining "stay" A thousand miles of maybe And I’d choose you Every Day
