Compass Lyrics by August James

2024

[Chorus]
What happens if I lose my way
With a compass and a map I made
Looking for my shadow in the dark
What happens if I look for you
With a compass and my tennis shoes
And find you holding someone else's heart

[Verse 1]
I'm sleeping on your bedroom floor
I let my feelings wash ashore
You told me I'm projecting
And I don't move with much direction anymore
I don't know what I'm looking for
I can't believe I care
Soon I won't I pinky-swear
I'm leaving, I'll call you when I'm there

[Chorus]
What happens if I lose my way
With a compass and a map I made
Looking for my shadow in the dark
What happens if I look for you
With a compass and my tennis shoes
And find you holding someone else's heart

[Verse 2]
So I get up and I gеt dressed
Playing Pokémon on my old 3ds
Therе's a title card that says, "You gotta be the very best"
And now I'm getting existential with my digital pets
I can't believe I care
But what a weird state of affairs
I'm leaving, I'll call you when I'm there

[Chorus]
What happens if I lose my way
With a compass and a map I made
Looking for my shadow in the dark
What happens if I look for you
With a compass and my tennis shoes
And find you holding someone else's heart
Do I go back to the start

[Chorus]
What happens if I lose my way
With a compass and a map I made
Looking for my shadow in the dark
What happens if I look for you
With a compass and my tennis shoes
And find you holding someone else's heart
Do I go back to the start
